Join us for a stimulating conversation with our guest Dr. Eleni Gavriilaki, from G. Papanicolaou Hospital and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, as she shares her insights on one of her passions: diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in hematology. Together with our host Dr. Sarah de Vlieger, they discuss the current challenges of DEI in the field and how organizations like EHA are addressing these issues.
They examine the importance of representation across gender, age groups and geographical location and how this impacts both clinical and research practices. Dr. Gavriilaki highlights ongoing initiatives to promote DEI, such as inclusive speaker selection, recruiting hematologists from diversity groups to leading roles, creating equitable grant opportunities. She further emphasizes the need for conscious efforts to provide opportunities to hematologists from underrepresented countries.
This conversation concludes with a call to action for hematologists who feel underrepresented to seize the current momentum and make their voices heard.
