SURVEY SAYS: DEI and PhDs

The O&P EDGE conducts weekly polls through our social media channels to gauge what our followers and readers think about a particular topic. In this issue, we’re highlighting three recent polls related to our readers’ professional lives. What are some of the advantages to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace? 47 percent said more innovation 24 percent said a sense of belonging 18 percent said it brings an eclectic talent pool 12 percent said something else: A follower reposted the poll with the comment, “I, for one, support the inclusion of all ethnicities in the workplace.” Another follower wrote, “It has been...‘interesting’...to see the division in beliefs within O&P. In general, I’ve mostly seen positive views on DEI, but it’s true that I ended up removing some (not close) contacts recently due to some aggressively negative opinions floating to the surface in support of the DEI bans.” Do you think it is beneficial to have an O&P-focused PhD? 83 percent said it’s not worth the time or money 12 percent said they were considering it 2 percent said they already had a PhD 2 percent said something else, but they didn’t tell us their idea As healthcare committees round out their new membership, what would you like to see happen from a legislative standpoint in 2025? 50 percent said advance So Every BODY Can Move legislation 19 percent said keep CMS intact 19 percent said hope for better bipartisanship 12 percent said advance Patient Care Act legislation We’d love to hear what you think—engage with us on social media and see all the results in the EDGE Direct E-newsletter.
