Area Of Science
- Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
- Medical Education
- Diversity and Inclusion
Background
- Growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across medical fields.
- Pathology specialty societies are actively promoting DEI initiatives.
- Limited research exists on the diversity of practicing cytopathologists.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess the diversity of cytopathology trainees using Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) data.
- To infer the diversity of attending cytopathologists based on trainee demographics.
- To share personal insights on diversity within cytopathology training and practice.
Main Methods
- Analysis of diversity data collected by the ACGME for pathology and laboratory medicine trainees since 2011.
- Extrapolation of trainee diversity trends to estimate attending-level diversity.
- Inclusion of author's anecdotal observations from training and career.
Main Results
- The ACGME data provides a valuable, albeit indirect, resource for evaluating cytopathology trainee diversity.
- Trainee data can inform strategies for enhancing diversity in the practicing cytopathology workforce.
- Personal observations offer qualitative context to quantitative diversity data.
Conclusions
- ACGME trainee data presents an opportunity to examine and improve diversity in cytopathology.
