We know diverse teams contribute to better patient outcomes and drive more innovative thinking.
Yet the field of academic anesthesiology has seen little growth in recent decades when it comes to developing leaders from diverse backgrounds.
RADAR is working to increase the number of anesthesiologists from underrepresented and marginalized groups. We are focused on attracting college and medical students to the field, providing mentorship and networking opportunities for early career anesthesiologists, and developing resources for department leadership to build inclusive and anti-racist communities.
RADAR is a partnership between the anesthesiology departments of the University of Michigan and Washington University St. Louis. Our work is funded through the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
