Improving equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within radiology is critical for optimal patient care and to reduce health disparities. Although there are increasing EDI initiatives, there is a paucity of resources available to assist radiology departments as the culture of EDI evolves and faculty and institutions are expected to incorporate EDI in their practice. Practical recommendations for radiology departments, radiology training programs, and individual radiologists wishing or mandated to improve EDI in the workplace will be presented. Actionable strategies for creating an environment that promotes EDI, attracting and supporting diverse trainees, and for how individual radiologists can be allies will also be presented. These EDI strategies are imperative to provide the best patient care and to strengthen the future of radiology.
