A broad survey of women otolaryngologists on the current state of the field, including opportunities for advancement, support of family leave, and prevalence of harassment, has not been performed since 1998. An update on the experiences of female otolaryngologists is vital to continue to advance the specialty.
Anonymous web-based survey.
Survey of members of the Women in Otolaryngology (WIO) section of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (all members of the AAO-HNS that identify as female are automatically members of this section). Distributed via AAO-HNS.
Five hundred thirty-five responses out of 2303 total WIO members (response rate of 23.2%). Respondents ranged in age from 25 to >65 years. Respondents reported that in the residency programs they attended, 29% of residents, 13% of faculty, and 7% of department leaders were women. Forty-four percent disagreed that their department leaders and 39% disagreed that their male co-residents were supportive of women starting families in training. Younger respondents were more likely to feel that their department leaders were supportive of female residents, maternity leave, etc. Harassment in the current work environment did not differ by age; 53% reported harassment-free, 31% subtle undertones, 8% noticeable tones, 2% significant harassment. Harassment in the workplace varied by region; the greatest level of harassment was in the Midwest.
Women otolaryngologists continue to experience harassment in the workplace. It is encouraging that younger otolaryngologists feel more supported by their departments in both their careers and their personal lives. This survey highlights critical areas for continued growth within our specialty.

自 1998 年以来，尚未对女性耳鼻喉科医生就该领域的现状（包括晋升机会、对产假的支持以及性骚扰的普遍程度）进行广泛调查。更新女性耳鼻喉科医生的经验对于继续推进该专业至关重要。
匿名网络调查。
对美国耳鼻喉科学会-头颈外科学会（AAO-HNS）女性耳鼻喉科医师（WIO）分会成员进行调查（所有自认为女性的 AAO-HNS 成员自动成为该分会成员）。通过 AAO-HNS 分发。
在 2303 名 WIO 成员中，有 535 名做出回应（回应率为 23.2%）。受访者年龄在 25 至 >65 岁之间。受访者报告称，在他们就读的住院医师培训计划中，29%的住院医师、13%的教员和 7%的系领导是女性。44%的人不同意他们的系领导，39%的人不同意他们的男同事支持女性在培训期间组建家庭。年轻的受访者更有可能觉得他们的系领导支持女性住院医师、陪产假等。目前工作环境中的骚扰没有因年龄而异；53%的人报告说没有骚扰，31%的人报告说有微妙的暗示，8%的人报告说有明显的暗示，2%的人报告说有严重的骚扰。工作场所的骚扰因地区而异；中西部地区的骚扰程度最大。
女性耳鼻喉科医生在工作场所仍会遭受骚扰。令人鼓舞的是，年轻的耳鼻喉科医生在职业和个人生活中感到更受部门的支持。这项调查突出了我们专业领域内需要持续发展的关键领域。
