Determine representation by gender for individual recognition awards presented to physicians by the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
Cross-sectional survey was used. Lists of individual recognition award recipients for the 27-yr history of the AAP awards (1990-2016) were analyzed. The primary outcome measures were the total numbers of men versus women physician award recipients overall and for the past decade (2007-2016).
No awards were given to women physicians for the past 4 yrs (2013-2016) or in half of the award categories for the past decade (2007-2016). No woman received the outstanding resident/fellow award since its inception (2010-2016). There was a decrease in the proportion of awards given to women in the past decade (2007-2016, 7 of 39 awards, 17.9%) as compared with the first 17 yrs (1990-2006, 10 of 46 awards, 21.7%). Furthermore, compared with their proportional membership within the specialty, women physicians were underrepresented for the entire 27-yr history of the AAP awards (1990-2016, 17 of 85 awards, 20%). According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the proportion of full-time female physical medicine and rehabilitation faculty members was 38% in 1992 and 41% in 2013.
Women physicians have been underrepresented by the AAP in recognition awards. Although the reasons are not clear, these findings should be further investigated.
确定学术物理医学与康复医师协会(AAP)颁发给医师的个人认可奖的性别代表性情况。
采用横断面调查。分析了AAP奖项27年历史(1990 - 2016年)中个人认可奖获得者名单。主要观察指标是总体上以及过去十年(2007 - 2016年)男性与女性医师获奖者的总数。
在过去4年(2013 - 2016年)没有女性医师获得奖项,在过去十年(2007 - 2016年)超过半数的奖项类别中也没有女性获奖。自杰出住院医师/研究员奖设立以来(2010 - 2016年),没有女性获得该奖项。与前17年(1990 - 2006年,46个奖项中有10个,占21.7%)相比,过去十年(2007 - 2016年,39个奖项中有7个,占17.9%)授予女性的奖项比例有所下降。此外,与她们在该专业中的比例成员数相比,在AAP奖项的整个27年历史中(1990 - 2016年,85个奖项中有17个,占20%),女性医师的代表性不足。根据美国医学院协会的数据,1992年全职女性物理医学与康复教员的比例为38%,2013年为41%。
AAP在认可奖项中对女性医师的代表性不足。尽管原因尚不清楚,但这些发现应进一步调查。
