As the sports medicine field has grown, the need for a more diverse workforce has become more evident. Given the growing athlete diversity that exists at all recreational and competitive levels of organized sports, it is important to better understand the current state of athletic health care diversity. This review assesses the current state of diversity in sports medicine from the perspective of the medical and athletic training professions. Men and women currently display nearly equivalent participation levels; however, the distribution of female team physicians and athletic trainers could better match the teams that they serve. Although progress has been made, much more needs to be done to bring more female athletic trainers and team physicians into athletic health care leadership roles. Early mentoring programs have shown efficacy for increasing the number of female candidates who might become the foundation of future athletic health care and academic program leaders.

随着运动医学领域的发展，对更加多样化劳动力的需求变得愈发明显。鉴于在有组织体育活动的所有娱乐和竞技层面都存在日益增长的运动员多样性，更好地了解运动健康护理多样性的现状非常重要。本综述从医学和运动训练专业的角度评估了运动医学领域的多样性现状。目前男性和女性的参与水平几乎相当；然而，女性队医和运动训练师的分布情况可以更好地与他们所服务的团队相匹配。尽管已经取得了进展，但要让更多女性运动训练师和队医担任运动健康护理的领导角色，仍有更多工作要做。早期的指导计划已显示出在增加可能成为未来运动健康护理和学术项目领导者基础的女性候选人数量方面的成效。
