Faculty diversity has important implications for medical student diversity. The purpose of this analysis is to describe trends in racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in family medicine (FM) departments and compare these trends to the diversity of matriculating medical students, the diversity of all medical school faculty, and the population in general.
We used the Association of American Medical Colleges Faculty Roster to describe trends in proportions of female and minorities under-represented in medicine (URM) in FM department full-time faculty in U.S. MD-granting medical schools.
Among FM faculty, the proportions of female and URM faculty have grown more than 2-fold between 1980 and 2015. Increasing faculty rank was associated with lower diversity across the study period. FM departments had higher female and URM proportions than the average of all other specialties, but URM representation still lagged population trends.
Although FM faculty diversity is growing over time, continued attention to URM representation should remain a priority.
教师多元化对医学生多元化具有重要意义。本分析的目的是描述家庭医学（FM）系在种族、民族和性别方面的多元化趋势，并将这些趋势与入学医学生的多元化、所有医学院教师的多元化以及总体人口的多元化进行比较。
我们利用美国医学院协会教师名册来描述美国授予医学博士学位的医学院FM系全职教师中女性和医学领域代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）的比例趋势。
在1980年至2015年间，FM系教师中女性和URM教师的比例增长了两倍多。在整个研究期间，教师职级的提高与多元化程度的降低相关。FM系的女性和URM比例高于所有其他专业的平均水平，但URM的代表性仍落后于人口趋势。
尽管随着时间的推移，FM系教师的多元化程度在不断提高，但对URM代表性的持续关注仍应是优先事项。
