By nature of our medical specialty, emergency medicine physicians treat perhaps the most varied patient population. This lecture will discuss the ever changing demographics of the patient population and the face of emergency medicine while exploring the impact diverse representation has on clinical outcomes. We will discuss the impact affirmative action and DEI have had in advancing emergency medicine. This session was recorded on Monday, April 29, 2024 at the 30th Annual
