N2 - The importance of a racially and ethnically diverse nursing workforce has been staunchly avowed across federal, national, and institutional levels. The rise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practitioners in academic nursing has become more important as institutions seek the goal of achieving health equity. The scope of the DEI practitioner role in academic nursing varies. Concerns include role confusion and DEI practitioner titles. In this article, we offer recommendations for establishing a DEI practitioner position, including best practices for scope, titling, authority, time allocation, salary/compensation and resources/staffing.
