The authors wish to thank Lisa Baird, CEO of the WMIS, Lauren Whitman, and Sylvia Anderson from the WMIS, Mekemeke Faooso and Tricia Hatcliff from Stanford Radiology, and Emily Manche from the Stanford CME office, who organized all administrative aspects of the event. We would also like to thank members of the WMIS and Stanford Radiology leadership team, who provided opening remarks on each of the conference days, including Dr. Martin Pomper, immediate past president of the WMIS, Dr. Garry Gold, Interim Chair of the Radiology Department at Stanford, Dr. Carolyn Anderson, President Elect of the upcoming WMIS, Dr. Jason Lewis, Editor in Chief of Molecular Imaging & Biology , and Dr. Payam Massaband, Program Director of the Stanford Radiology Residency Program. Many thanks also to the 32 moderators from 15 different institutions, who facilitated the presentations and breakout sessions! We are grateful to our invited speakers, including Dr. Kassa Darge, MD, PhD, DTM&P, FSAR, FESUR, Chair of the Department of Radiology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. Iris Gibbs, MD, FACR, FASTRO, Associate Dean of MD Admissions, Stanford Medicine, Dr. Miriam Bredella, MD, Vice Chair, Department of Radiology and Director of the Center of Faculty Development, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard, Dr. Michele Barry, MD, FACP, Senior Associate Dean of Global Health at Stanford, Dr. Yuri Qintana, PhD, Director of Global Health Informatics at BIDC, Harvard, Dr. Brielle Ferguson, PhD, NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford, Dr. Jayne Seekins, DO, faculty leader of the Radiology outreach program, and Dr. Justin Tse, MD, Stanford Radiology resident. We thank Dr. Julie Gosse for editing this manuscript. A big thanks to all contributors and attendees for investing the time and effort to share their experiences with us!

N2 - This paper summarizes the 2020 Diversity in Radiology and Molecular Imaging: What We Need to Know Conference, a three-day virtual conference held September 9–11, 2020. The World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) and Stanford University jointly organized this event to provide a forum for WMIS members and affiliates worldwide to openly discuss issues pertaining to diversity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The participants discussed three main conference themes, “racial diversity in STEM,” “women in STEM,” and “global health,” which were discussed through seven plenary lectures, twelve scientific presentations, and nine roundtable discussions, respectively. Breakout sessions were designed to flip the classroom and seek input from attendees on important topics such as increasing the representation of underrepresented minority (URM) members and women in STEM, generating pipeline programs in the fields of molecular imaging, supporting existing URM and women members in their career pursuits, developing mechanisms to effectively address microaggressions, providing leadership opportunities for URM and women STEM members, improving global health research, and developing strategies to advance culturally competent healthcare.
