To identify demographic, training, and career trends of neurotology fellowship directors (FDs).
Cross-sectional study.
United States.
All 26 neurotology FDs identified using the American Neurotology Society (ANS) ACGME Accredited Neurotology Fellowship Program Directory, accessed November 2021.
Data were collected via CVs, institutional biographies, and emailed questionnaires. Data collected includes age, gender, race and ethnicity, residency and fellowship training institution, time since training completion until FD, length of time as FD, and Hirsch-index (h-index).
Twenty-six FDs were identified, and 17/26 (65.4%) FDs responded to the questionnaire. The majority (23/26; 88.5%) were male. The mean age of male and female FDs was 56 versus 47 years, respectively. Of the 17 that responded to the survey, 82.4% (14/17) self-identified as Caucasian. The mean h-index was 25.4. Older age correlated with a higher h-index (r = 0.46, = 0.019). The duration (mean ± SD, years) from fellowship graduation to FD appointment was 10.7 ± 8.1 and 6.3 ± 4.8 from institutional hire. Six (23.1%) FDs had secondary graduate degrees, and 9 (34.6%) held a leadership position at a national otolaryngology organization.
This observational study assesses demographic data on current neurotology FDs in the United States with an analysis of gender disparities. The objective measures identified can provide a baseline for growth in FD leadership.
确定耳神经学 fellowship 主任（FDs）的人口统计学、培训及职业发展趋势。
横断面研究。
美国。
通过查阅2021年11月的美国耳神经学会（ANS）ACGME 认可的耳神经学 fellowship 项目名录确定的所有26位耳神经学 FDs。
通过简历、机构简介和电子邮件问卷收集数据。收集的数据包括年龄、性别、种族和民族、住院医师培训及 fellowship 培训机构、培训结束至担任 FD 的时间、担任 FD 的时长以及 Hirsch 指数（h 指数）。
确定了26位 FDs，其中17/26（65.4%）的 FDs 回复了问卷。大多数（23/26；88.5%）为男性。男性和女性 FDs 的平均年龄分别为56岁和47岁。在回复调查的17人中，82.4%（14/17）自我认定为白种人。平均 h 指数为25.4。年龄越大，h 指数越高（r = 0.46，P = 0.019）。从 fellowship 毕业到被任命为 FD 的时长（平均±标准差，年）为10.7±8.1，从机构聘用开始计算为6.3±4.8。6位（23.1%）FDs 拥有第二学位，9位（34.6%）在全国耳鼻喉科组织担任领导职务。
本观察性研究评估了美国当前耳神经学 FDs 的人口统计学数据，并分析了性别差异。所确定的客观指标可为 FD 领导力的发展提供基线。
