Women continue to be underrepresented as speakers at national conferences, and research has shown similar trends in hospital medicine. The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) Annual Meeting has historically had an open call peer review process for workshop speakers and, in 2019, expanded the process for didactic speakers. We aimed to assess the overall conference trends for women speakers and whether the systematic processes in recruitment procedures (ie, open call) resulted in improved representation of women speakers. We also sought to understand how the proportion of women speakers might affect overall scores of the conference. From 2015 to 2019, the overall representation of women speakers increased, as did evaluation scores during the same time period. When selection processes included the open call peer review process, there were higher proportions of women speakers. An open call process with peer review for speakers may be a systematic process that national meetings could replicate to reduce gender inequities.
女性在全国会议上的发言人数仍然较少，医院医学领域的研究也显示出类似的趋势。医院医学学会（SHM）年会历史上一直对研讨会演讲者采用公开电话同行评审程序，2019 年，扩大了专题演讲者的程序。我们旨在评估女性演讲者的总体会议趋势，以及招聘程序（即公开电话）中的系统流程是否导致女性演讲者的代表性得到改善。我们还试图了解女性演讲者的比例如何影响会议的整体得分。从 2015 年到 2019 年，女性演讲者的总体代表性增加，同时评估分数也有所增加。当选择过程包括公开电话同行评审程序时，女性演讲者的比例更高。演讲者的公开电话同行评审程序可能是国家会议可以复制的系统流程，以减少性别不平等。
