Disparities among women and individuals from racial/ethnic minority groups persist in surgical specialties at all training levels. We hypothesized that these populations are underrepresented in surgical specialties, and that diversity in faculty is correlated with diversity in trainees.
Linking aggregate data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Faculty Roster and the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Track databases, we evaluated self-reported gender and racial/ethnic composition of faculty and residents across six surgical specialties.
Programs with more women faculty had significantly greater numbers of women residents. Programs with more faculty from racial/ethnic minority groups were significantly associated with greater numbers of residents from racial/ethnic minority groups. From 2001 to 2017, the proportion of women residents, women faculty, and faculty from racial/ethnic minority groups increased across all specialties; however, the proportion of residents from racial/ethnic minority groups remained unchanged.
In surgical specialties, diversity among faculty and trainees are correlated. However, the proportion of residents from racial/ethnic minority groups has remained unchanged, even among programs with the highest proportion of faculty from racial/ethnic minority groups.
在各级培训水平的外科专业中，女性和少数族裔/族裔群体的差异仍然存在。我们假设这些人群在外科专业中代表性不足，并且教师的多样性与学员的多样性相关。
我们通过链接美国医学协会（AAMC）教师名册和研究生医学教育（GME）轨道数据库中的综合数据，评估了六个外科专业中教师和住院医师的自我报告的性别和种族/族裔构成。
拥有更多女性教师的项目拥有更多的女性住院医师。拥有更多少数族裔/族裔群体教师的项目与更多少数族裔/族裔群体的住院医师显著相关。从 2001 年到 2017 年，所有专业的女性住院医师、女性教师和少数族裔/族裔群体教师的比例都有所增加；然而，少数族裔/族裔群体的住院医师比例保持不变。
在外科专业中，教师和学员之间的多样性是相关的。然而，即使在拥有最高比例少数族裔/族裔群体教师的项目中，少数族裔/族裔群体的住院医师比例也保持不变。
