Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Veterinary Medicine (EPUB)

By Kemba Marshall

An insightful discussion of DEI and its application to a wide variety of real-world veterinary settings

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Veterinary Medicine takes a broad approach to the concept of DEI, delivering a practical discussion of effective strategies for applying diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices within the veterinary setting. Written by a diverse set of voices, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of DEI as it relates to veterinary medicine. Arranged from A to Z, the 26 chapters discuss important concepts in DEI, with actionable advice for how to incorporate DEI into the practice of veterinary medicine.

The chapters define the concepts, explain why each concept is important to veterinary medicine, and give practical examples of how to apply the concepts in the real world. Each chapter stands on its own and can be approached individually but taken together these chapters expand the boundaries of DEI into topics that are both familiar and novel.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to the concept of access to care and one health medicine through the lens of DEI
• Comprehensive explorations of equity, intersectionality, justice, representation, and other central DEI concepts that impact the veterinary profession’s ability to benefit society
• Practical discussions of how unconscious bias and cultural competency impact both client and team interactions impacting patient care
• In-depth examinations of specific community engagement, including First Nation, queer, and neurodiverse communities

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Veterinary Medicine is an invaluable resource for practicing veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary practice managers, other veterinary professionals, veterinary students, veterinary technician students, and anyone involved with animal health.
