PURPOSE
We performed an exploratory evaluation of gender-specific differences in speakers and their introductions at internal medicine grand rounds.
METHOD
Internal medicine grand rounds video archives from three sites between December 2013 and September 2020 were manually transcribed and analyzed using natural language processing techniques. Differences in word usage by gender were compared.
RESULTS
Four hundred and sixty-two grand rounds held at three institutions were examined. There were 167 (34.6%) speakers who were women and 316 (65.4%) who were men. The proportion of women speakers was significantly lower than that of women in the internal medicine workforce (34.6% vs. 39.2%, p = 0.04). Among 191 external speakers, only 57 (29.8%) were women. The use of professional titles was equivalent between genders. Despite equal mention of specific achievements in both male and female speaker introductions, there was a trend toward casting female speakers as being less established.
CONCLUSION
There is a need to adopt processes that will decrease inequities in the representation of women in grand rounds and in their introductions.
目的
我们对内科学术大查房中演讲者及其自我介绍的性别差异进行了探索性评估。
方法
使用自然语言处理技术，对2013年12月至2020年9月期间来自三个地点的内科学术大查房视频档案进行人工转录和分析。比较了不同性别的用词差异。
结果
对三个机构举行的462次学术大查房进行了检查。演讲者中有167名女性（34.6%），316名男性（65.4%）。女性演讲者的比例显著低于内科工作人员中的女性比例（34.6%对39.2%，p = 0.04）。在191名外部演讲者中，只有57名（29.8%）是女性。专业头衔的使用在不同性别之间是相同的。尽管在男性和女性演讲者的介绍中都同样提到了具体成就，但存在一种将女性演讲者描述为资历较浅的趋势。
结论
有必要采取措施，减少学术大查房中女性代表比例及其介绍方面的不平等现象。
