The current study examined gender differences in endowed chairs within Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences across the top 10 NIH-funded Schools of Medicine. The names of full professors with and without endowed chairs were collected and a multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to predict having an endowed chair considering gender, primary degree, NIH funding, and citation number. Secondary analyses repeated the models separately for individuals holding an MD or MD/PhD versus those with a non-MD doctoral degree (i.e., PhD). There were 715 full professors (36% women) and 115 endowed chairs (35% women). When adjusting for primary degree type, funding, and citations, women were significantly more likely to hold an endowed chair than men. Secondary models indicated that findings differed based on primary degree type. Among those with an MD or MD/PhD, gender was not associated with holding an endowed chair while among faculty with a PhD, women full professors were significantly more likely to hold an endowed chair than men. These results diverge from a prior study of Departments of Medicine in which endowed chairs were found to favor men.
本研究考察了 NIH 资助的前 10 名医学院中精神病学和行为科学系特聘讲席教授中的性别差异。收集了有特聘讲席教授和没有特聘讲席教授的正教授的名字，并构建了一个多变量逻辑回归模型，以考虑性别、主要学位、NIH 资助和引用数量来预测是否拥有特聘讲席教授。二次分析分别针对拥有 MD 或 MD/PhD 的个体和拥有非 MD 博士学位（即 PhD）的个体重复了这些模型。共有 715 名正教授（36%为女性）和 115 个特聘讲席教授（35%为女性）。在调整主要学位类型、资助和引用后，女性拥有特聘讲席教授的可能性明显高于男性。二次模型表明，研究结果基于主要学位类型而有所不同。在拥有 MD 或 MD/PhD 的人中，性别与是否拥有特聘讲席教授无关，而在拥有 PhD 的教职员工中，女性正教授拥有特聘讲席教授的可能性明显高于男性。这些结果与之前一项对医学系的研究不同，该研究发现特聘讲席教授更倾向于男性。
