In order to care for an increasingly diverse population, the surgical workforce must improve in gender, racial, and ethnic diversity. We aim to identify deficiencies in the surgical pipeline.
Data from the United States Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Association of American Medical Colleges were collected from 2004 to 2018, and evaluated for changing population over time.
Women comprise 51% of the population, 32% of surgeons, and representation is increasing at a rate of 0.4% per year. 13% of the population and 6% of surgeons are black, and representation is decreasing at a rate of -0.1% per year. Hispanics represent 18% of the population, 6% of surgeons, and representation is increasing at a rate of 0.04% per year.
While the proportion of women and Hispanic surgeons is slowly increasing, the proportion of black surgeons is decreasing. Recruitment methods need to be focused to improve surgical workforce diversity.
为了照顾日益多样化的人群，外科医务人员的性别、种族和民族多样性必须得到改善。我们旨在确定外科手术领域的缺陷。
从 2004 年到 2018 年，收集了来自美国人口普查局、劳工统计局和美国医学协会的数据，并对随时间变化的人口进行了评估。
女性占人口的 51%，占外科医生的 32%，其代表性以每年 0.4%的速度增加。黑人占人口的 13%，占外科医生的 6%，其代表性以每年-0.1%的速度下降。西班牙裔占人口的 18%，占外科医生的 6%，其代表性以每年 0.04%的速度增加。
虽然女性和西班牙裔外科医生的比例在缓慢增加，但黑人外科医生的比例在下降。需要有针对性地采取招聘方法，以提高外科劳动力的多样性。
