Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity Statement

SCCM values and seeks diversity and inclusive practices within the critical care profession and within the SCCM organization. SCCM promotes involvement, innovation, and expanded access to leadership opportunities that maximize engagement across diverse populations. SCCM will provide leadership and will commit time and resources to accomplish this objective, focusing particularly on increasing participation of underrepresented groups. Securing the highest-quality care for all critically ill and injured patients is our goal.

DEI Lexicon

The Society’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee has developed a lexicon to assist with engaging in meaningful dialogues and fostering a culture of respect and inclusion. By embracing these terms and definitions, SCCM can contribute to creating a more equitable and just healthcare environment for both patients and clinicians.
