To describe gender diversity and research productivity among medical education boards.
We examined gender, training status, and research productivity of board members of Journal Citation Reports-listed medical education journals and affiliated professional societies. We determined gender using gendered pronouns and-if unavailable-software. We evaluated differences using χ and -tests.
Overall, half of board members but 44% of editors-in-chief and 20% of society leaders were female. Female-led journals and societies had higher female representation than their non-female-led counterparts; trainee board members were more likely to be female.
Gender disparities exist among executives on journal and affiliated professional society boards in medical education.
描述医学教育委员会中的性别多样性和研究生产力。
我们研究了《期刊引证报告》列出的医学教育期刊及附属专业协会的委员会成员的性别、培训状况和研究生产力。我们使用性别代词确定性别,若不可用则使用软件。我们使用χ检验和t检验评估差异。
总体而言,委员会成员中有一半是女性,但主编中有44%是女性,协会领导中有20%是女性。女性主导的期刊和协会的女性代表性高于非女性主导的同行;实习委员会成员更有可能是女性。
医学教育领域期刊及附属专业协会委员会的管理人员中存在性别差异。
