With the increased diversity of our surgical workforce, we must examine our current practices and ensure that we are allowing for unbiased equality in career advancement. Empirical data identifying the underlying forces driving inequities will be examined, as will successful practices that have mitigated these issues in other disciplines. An important opportunity exists in the increasing diversification of the surgical career path, which requires a personalization of surgical careers that has not been traditionally afforded. The central role of culture will be explored and concrete recommendations to advance these agendas over the next 10 years will be considered
