Appoint an Editorial Director of Equity: Conduct a national search to identify and recruit a full-time, senior-level editor to serve as director of equity at JAMA and the JAMA Network, reporting to the JAMA editor in chief. This editor will lead efforts to promote equity at JAMA and help guide efforts of other editors for equity at each of the JAMA Network Journals. Convene DEI Summit: Convene a multidisciplinary summit including leaders with expertise in DEI from medicine and other disciplines; JAMA and JAMA Network editors and editorial boards; researchers; authors and peer reviewers; practicing physicians, residents, other early-career physicians, and medical students; and other groups to provide input and suggestions for editorial and journal policies, procedures, and programs concerning these issues. Improve Editorial Diversity: Continue to increase the diversity of editors, editorial boards, advisory committees, and editorial staff of JAMA and the JAMA Network Journals in terms of self-identified gender, race, ethnicity, and intersectionality, and recruit qualified physicians and researchers with specific expertise in topics related to DEI in biomedical research, clinical investigation, and health policy. Publish statistics on the diversity of the editors and editorial boards on each journal website. Promote Awareness of and Responsibility for DEI: Promote and support education, awareness, and conversations about issues and concerns related to DEI and subconscious or implicit bias among editors, editorial board members, and editorial staff. Encourage all to commit to increasing understanding, listening, acceptance, self-reflection, and change. Ensure that all policies and procedures contribute to an inclusive and antiracist environment and culture. Formalize Process for Assessment and Reporting: Establish an assessment and reporting committee consisting of JAMA and JAMA Network Journal editors and editorial board members and those with expertise in DEI to develop metrics for measuring success; monitor ongoing initiatives and progress; report at least biannually to the editor in chief, editorial director of equity, and journal oversight committee; and recommend approaches for public reporting. Expand Editorial Fellowship Program: Develop fellowship programs in medical editing for physicians underrepresented in medicine to acquire education and training in medical journalism and scientific editing at JAMA and the JAMA Network Journals.",
