BACKGROUND
The demographics of medical schools reveal a growing trend towards greater gender and underrepresented in medicine (UIM) representation among students, yet surgical residency lags behind. This study explores the demographics of first-year medical students (M1s) and their initial career interests.
METHODS
A panel of faculty physicians and fourth-year medical students in surgical and nonsurgical specialties was held for M1s during orientation week. Demographic differences and career interests were collected.
RESULTS
Fifty-six M1s, 31 (55%) female and 13 (24%) UIM, attended the event. While 35 students (62.5%) reported interest in surgery, only 7 (20%) identified as UIM and 16 (46%) as female.
CONCLUSION
Initial interest in surgery is comprised of mostly male and non-UIM students. Throughout medical school, this pattern persists, with current match rates into surgery not reflecting the population of students. Focusing on initial interest to surgery is crucial as it is the foundation for the pipeline of diversifying future surgeons.
背景
医学院校的人口统计学数据显示，学生中的性别多元化趋势以及医学领域中代表性不足群体（UIM）的比例不断增加，但外科住院医师培训的情况却滞后。本研究探讨了一年级医学生（M1）的人口统计学特征及其最初的职业兴趣。
方法
在迎新周期间为M1举办了一场由外科和非外科专业的教师医生及四年级医学生组成的小组讨论。收集了人口统计学差异和职业兴趣。
结果
56名M1参加了此次活动，其中31名（55%）为女性，13名（24%）为UIM。虽然35名学生（62.5%）表示对手术感兴趣，但只有7名（20%）为UIM，16名（46%）为女性。
结论
对手术的最初兴趣主要由男性和非UIM学生构成。在整个医学院学习期间，这种模式持续存在，目前进入外科的匹配率并未反映出学生群体的情况。关注对手术的最初兴趣至关重要，因为它是未来多元化外科医生培养渠道的基础。
