Although the number of women entering medical school and emergency medicine (EM) residencies has increased, female physicians are still proportionally underrepresented in EM. The goal of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between resident gender and program leadership gender.
A survey of residency leadership and residents was completed, and multivariate factor analysis was performed.
It was found that 31% of program directors (PDs) were women, along with 42% of associate PDs, 48% of assistant PDs, 36% of residents, and 48% of chief residents. The strongest correlation between female residents and program leadership was between female residents and female assistant PDs (0.25). Female residents were also strongly correlated with female chief residents (0.40).
Although we cannot determine the direction of causation, moving forward, programs looking to increase their female resident cohort should consider focusing efforts around increasing representation at the program leadership and chief resident level.
尽管进入医学院和急诊医学（EM）住院医师培训项目的女性人数有所增加，但女性医生在急诊医学领域的比例仍然相对较低。本研究的目的是确定住院医师性别与项目领导人性别之间是否存在关联。
完成了一项针对住院医师培训项目领导人和住院医师的调查，并进行了多因素分析。
发现31%的项目主任（PDs）为女性，42%的副主任项目主任、48%的助理项目主任、36%的住院医师以及48%的总住院医师为女性。女性住院医师与项目领导之间最强的相关性存在于女性住院医师与女性助理项目主任之间（0.25）。女性住院医师与女性总住院医师之间也存在很强的相关性（0.40）。
尽管我们无法确定因果关系的方向，但展望未来，希望增加女性住院医师人数的项目应考虑围绕提高项目领导和总住院医师层面的女性比例来集中努力。
