      abstract = {No other hospital department cares for patients as diverse  as those who come to the Emergency Department (ED). These  patients encompass all stages and positions of life and  health. Many belong to distinct minority cultures defined  by the patient's sexual orientation and gender identity,  disability, spirituality, language, race, and ethnicity. It  has been well documented that minorities experience  inadequate emergency treatment and face poorer healthcare  outcomes. Furthermore, research has established that the  elderly, ethnic minorities, the poor, and persons with  Medicaid coverage are more likely than other people to  utilize the emergency department rather than primary care  services. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act,  particularly the Medicaid expansion, EDs across the United  States are poised to care for an unprecedented number of  underserved minorities. The need to equip emergency  healthcare professionals to practice medicine that is  culturally competent in the broadest possible sense has  never been greater. Diversity and Inclusion in Quality  Patient Care aims to fill this need.},
