To characterize the demographics, educational background, and scholarly characteristics of current urology residency program directors (PDs).
Urology programs were identified by the listing on the "Accredited US Urology Programs" section of American Urological Association website as of October 2021. Demographics and academic data were collected via publicly available department website and Google search engine. Metrics obtained included years of service as PD from time of appointment, sex, medical school/residency/fellowship, all-time H-index, dual degrees obtained, and professorial ranking.
One hundred and forty-seven accredited urological residencies were reviewed; every PD was included. The majority were male (78%) and fellowship trained (68%). Women represented only 22% of PDs. The median active time served as PD, as of 11/2021, was 4years (IQR: 2-7). Forty (28%) were faculty at the same program they completed their residency. The median all-time H-index was 12 (IQR: 7-19; range 1-61). Twelve PDs also served as chair of their department.
The vast majority of PDs are male, fellowship trained, and have served for less than 5years. Future studies are necessary to follow the trends of representation in leaders of urology residency programs.
描述当前泌尿科住院医师培训计划主任（PD）的人口统计学、教育背景和学术特征。
截至 2021 年 10 月，通过美国泌尿学协会网站“认可的美国泌尿科培训计划”部分的列表确定泌尿科计划。通过公开的部门网站和谷歌搜索引擎收集人口统计学和学术数据。获得的指标包括自任命以来担任 PD 的年限、性别、医学院/住院医师/研究员、终身 H 指数、获得的双学位和教授排名。
共审查了 147 个认可的泌尿科住院医师培训计划，每位 PD 都包括在内。大多数是男性（78%）和研究员培训（68%）。女性仅占 PD 的 22%。截至 2021 年 11 月，作为 PD 的活跃时间中位数为 4 年（IQR：2-7）。40 人（28%）在完成住院医师培训的同一项目中担任教职。中位终身 H 指数为 12（IQR：7-19；范围 1-61）。有 12 名 PD 还担任他们部门的主席。
绝大多数 PD 是男性、研究员培训，并且任职时间不到 5 年。需要进一步研究以跟踪泌尿科住院医师培训计划领导人员代表性的趋势。
