Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Academic Medicine
  • Gender Studies in Medicine

Background:

  • Despite increased female enrollment in medical schools, women face barriers to senior academic and leadership positions.
  • This study examines gender disparities in residency program director (PD) roles within major medical specialties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the gender distribution of residency PDs with that of residents and faculty in the 10 largest medical specialties.
  • To identify trends in the appointment of female PDs over time.

Main Methods:

  • Data on resident gender distribution sourced from the Journal of the American Medical Association.
  • PD and faculty gender data obtained from Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and Association of American Medical Colleges databases.
  • Statistical analyses included Pearson's correlation and chi-square tests to assess gender distribution and appointment trends.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive correlation exists between the percentage of female PDs and female residents across specialties (r=0.81, p=0.005).
  • Increased appointments of female PDs were observed in emergency medicine, family medicine, and overall between 2006-2010 compared to earlier periods.
  • Female PDs remained underrepresented relative to female medical school faculty in 7 of 10 specialties.

Conclusions:

  • Women are underrepresented in residency PD appointments relative to their proportion among medical school faculty and residents.
  • Addressing gender-based barriers is crucial to promote gender equity in academic medicine leadership.
