Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM), a field early in its development and with a robust pipeline of women, is in a unique position to lead the way in gender equity. We describe the proportion of women in divisional and fellowship leadership positions at university-based PHM programs (n = 142). When compared with the PHM field at large, women appear to be underrepresented as PHM division/program leaders (70% vs 55%; P< .001) but not as fellowship directors (70% vs 66%; P > .05). Women appear proportionally represented in associate/assistant leadership roles when compared with the distribution of the PHM field at large. Tracking these trends overtime is essential to advancing the field.
儿科医院医学(PHM)是一个处于早期发展阶段的领域,拥有强大的女性人才库,在性别平等方面处于独特的地位。我们描述了大学 PHM 项目中部门和奖学金领导职位中的女性比例(n=142)。与整个 PHM 领域相比,女性在 PHM 部门/项目领导中的代表性不足(70%对 55%;P<.001),但在奖学金主任中并非如此(70%对 66%;P >.05)。与整个 PHM 领域的分布相比,女性在副/助理领导角色中的比例相当。随着时间的推移跟踪这些趋势对于推动该领域的发展至关重要。
