Authors of clinical reasoning exercises analyze diagnostic dilemmas and serve as role models of clinical excellence. We investigated the percentage of women authors in the clinical problem-solving series of three general medicine journals from the inaugural article in each series until July 2019. Women were underrepresented among first, last, and all authors. While the percentage of women among first and all authors has increased, women still constituted <40% of all authors and ≤25% of last authors, and there have been no significant increases in women last authors in any of the three journals. Including more women in clinical reasoning exercises is an opportunity to amplify the voices of women as master clinicians.
临床推理练习的作者分析诊断难题,并作为临床卓越的榜样。我们调查了三个普通医学期刊的临床问题解决系列文章中女性作者的比例,调查时间从每个系列的第一篇文章开始到 2019 年 7 月。在第一作者、最后作者和所有作者中,女性的比例都偏低。尽管第一作者和所有作者中女性的比例有所增加,但女性作者仍不到所有作者的 40%,也不到最后作者的 25%,而且在这三个期刊中,没有任何一个期刊的女性最后作者有显著增加。在临床推理练习中纳入更多女性是一个机会,可以让女性作为杰出临床医生的声音更响亮。
