The information provided comes from the Diversity Officer Subcommittee, which was created in 2021, reports to the Academic Neurology Committee, and is charged with identifying the goals and objectives of diversity advocates in academic neurology departments, revealing gaps in support and critical obstacles that challenge these individuals, and helping to develop the tools and strategies that can be employed to overcome these challenges.
