Gender disparities in academic medicine continue to be prevalent despite significant advances in the number of women entering medicine over the last decades. The purpose of the present study was to investigate gender representation of speakers at Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) Annual Scientific Sessions meetings from 2015 to 2018.
Observational study.
Internet analysis and cross-sectional survey.
Speakers at the SCA Annual Scientific Sessions meetings from 2015 to 2018.
Individual speakers in the main program, problem-based learning discussions, workshops, and fellow sessions were analyzed for speaker gender. Speakers' names, pronouns, institutional biographies, and accompanying images were matched with public online data and were used to identify gender. Gender data from the 2019 SCA Diversity Survey respondents were used to estimate gender of the SCA membership.
Between 2015 and 2018, the number of lectures given by women was 22% to 25%. A statistically significant difference was found in the expected versus observed proportion of women in speaking slots for all combined sessions (2015-2018; p = 0.0027, 0.0023, 0.0018, 0.025, respectively). There also was a statistically significant difference in the expected versus observed proportion of women in speaking slots in the main sessions (2015-2018; p ≤ 0.0001, 0.00069, 0.00019, 0.00019, respectively). For the workshops, problem-based learning discussions, and fellow sessions, no statistically significant difference was found in the observed versus expected proportion of women in speaker slots.
Between 2015 and 2018, the majority of lectures at the SCA annual meetings were given by men, with women consistently giving 22% to 25% of individual lectures. When all sessions were combined, there was a statistically significant difference in the expected versus observed proportion of women in speaking slots.
尽管过去几十年间女性进入医学领域的人数显著增加，但医学学术界的性别差异仍然普遍存在。本研究旨在调查 2015 年至 2018 年期间，心血管麻醉医师学会（SCA）年会报告人的性别构成。
观察性研究。
互联网分析和横断面调查。
2015 年至 2018 年 SCA 年会的报告人。
对主要会议、基于问题的学习讨论、研讨会和研究员会议中的个别报告人进行分析，以确定其性别。报告人的姓名、代词、机构简历和伴随的图片与公开的在线数据进行匹配，以确定性别。使用 2019 年 SCA 多样性调查应答者的数据来估计 SCA 会员的性别。
2015 年至 2018 年间，女性讲座的比例为 22%至 25%。在所有综合会议中，报告人的性别与预期和观察到的比例存在统计学显著差异（2015-2018 年；p=0.0027，0.0023，0.0018，0.025，分别）。在主要会议中，报告人的性别与预期和观察到的比例也存在统计学显著差异（2015-2018 年；p≤0.0001，0.00069，0.00019，0.00019，分别）。对于研讨会、基于问题的学习讨论和研究员会议，报告人性别在观察到的和预期的比例之间没有统计学显著差异。
2015 年至 2018 年间，SCA 年会的大部分讲座由男性主讲，女性始终占个人讲座的 22%至 25%。当所有会议综合考虑时，报告人性别在预期和观察到的比例之间存在统计学显著差异。
