Summary:Radiology has recognized the need to increase the diversity of its workforce for decades; however, women and people of color remain disproportionately underrepresented. A welcoming and inclusive environment is essential to physician recruitment and retention, but disruptive behavior in the workplace can be a barrier to achieving this goal. Disruptive behavior can be overt or subtle, can be intentional or inadvertent, and can occur in different settings throughout a radiologist's career, including during patient care, among colleagues, from department leadership, and even from professional societies. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of where a radiologist may encounter disruptive behaviors, the impact that such behaviors can have on the physician's and practice's well-being, and tips for how to address and mitigate these behaviors in the future.
