The growing proportion of women in medical studentship and medical practice contrasts with their under-represented role in leadership positions in medical professional associations in Germany. Against this background, the proportion of women in top positions of medical professional associations in Germany has been analysed.A total of 1460 individuals were counted in the analysis of the composition of the boards/presidia of the 183 professional societies. The proportion of women on the boards/executive committees was 32.6%. Of the 183 professional societies, 47 (25.7%) were led by a woman as president. 72 (39.3%) women served as vice presidents. Only 39 (21.3%) professional societies had a proportion of women on the boards/executive committees ≥50%.There is a significant imbalance of female leadership positions in medical professional associations in Germany. To address this inequality, a strategy with multiple initiatives is needed that includes both career development programmes such as mentoring and the design of congress participation to ensure a balanced gender representation.
在德国，医学院学生和医疗行业中女性所占比例不断增加，但她们在德国医学专业协会领导职位中的代表性却不足。在此背景下，对德国医学专业协会高层职位中的女性比例进行了分析。在对183个专业协会的董事会/主席团组成进行分析时，共统计了1460人。董事会/执行委员会中女性的比例为32.6%。在183个专业协会中，有47个（25.7%）由女性担任会长。72名（39.3%）女性担任副会长。只有39个（21.3%）专业协会的董事会/执行委员会中女性比例≥50%。德国医学专业协会中女性领导职位存在显著失衡。为解决这种不平等问题，需要一项包含多项举措的战略，这既包括指导等职业发展计划，也包括确保性别均衡代表性的大会参与设计。
