Although women comprise the majority of medical students, gender disparities emerge early and remain at the highest levels of academia. Most leadership courses focus on faculty or students rather than women graduate medical education (GME) trainees.
To promote the leadership development of women GME trainees through empowerment, community building, networking and mentorship, and concrete leadership skills development.
University of California, San Francisco.
359 women residents and fellows from 41 specialties.
A longitudinal curriculum of monthly workshops designed to support leadership development for women trainees. Sessions and learning objectives were designed via needs assessments and literature review.
A mixed-methods evaluation was performed for 3 years of WILD programming. Quantitative surveys assessed participant satisfaction and fulfillment of learning objectives. Structured interview questions were asked in focus groups and analyzed qualitatively.
23% of invited participants attended at least one session from 2018 to 2021, despite challenging trainee schedules. Surveys demonstrated acceptability and satisfaction of all sessions, and learning objectives were met at 100% of matched sessions. Focus groups highlighted positive impact in domains of community-building, leadership skills, mentorship, and empowerment. This program has demonstrated WILD's longitudinal sustainability and impact for women trainees.
尽管女性在医学生中占多数,但性别差距很早就出现了,并一直存在于学术领域的最高层。大多数领导力课程都侧重于教师或学生,而不是女性研究生医学教育(GME)学员。
通过赋权、建立社区、建立联系和指导以及具体的领导力技能发展,促进女性 GME 学员的领导力发展。
加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校。
来自 41 个专业的 359 名女性住院医师和研究员。
一个为期一个月的讲习班的纵向课程,旨在为女性学员的领导力发展提供支持。课程和学习目标是通过需求评估和文献回顾设计的。
对 WILD 项目进行了为期 3 年的混合方法评估。定量调查评估了参与者的满意度和学习目标的完成情况。在焦点小组中提出了结构化的访谈问题,并进行了定性分析。
尽管学员的日程安排很紧张,但在 2018 年至 2021 年期间,仍有 23%的受邀参与者参加了至少一次课程。调查显示所有课程的可接受性和满意度,以及在 100%的匹配课程中达到了学习目标。焦点小组强调了在社区建设、领导力技能、指导和赋权方面的积极影响。该计划证明了 WILD 对女性学员的长期可持续性和影响力。
