    Women psychiatric residents actively participate in leadership roles, yet are less likely than men to engage in research or pursue faculty positions post-residency. This highlights a potential disparity in academic career progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Medical Education
    • Gender Studies in Medicine

    Background:

    • The underrepresentation of women in academic leadership in psychiatry is a persistent concern.
    • Understanding the experiences of residents nearing the end of training is crucial for identifying barriers and facilitators to career progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the leadership roles, opportunities, and challenges faced by women and men psychiatric chief residents.
    • To identify gender-based differences in research participation and post-residency career choices.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to women and men psychiatric chief residents nearing completion of their training.
    • Data collected included information on leadership activities, job descriptions, opportunities, difficulties, research involvement, and future career plans.

    Main Results:

    • Women psychiatric residents demonstrated active participation in leadership roles across education, administration, and clinical care.
    • Both genders reported similar job descriptions, opportunities, and difficulties during their chief residency.
    • Women were significantly less likely than men to participate in research activities or accept full-time faculty positions after residency.

    Conclusions:

    • While women psychiatric residents are engaged in leadership, disparities exist in research involvement and academic career advancement.
    • Interventions may be needed to encourage women's participation in research and support their transition into faculty roles.
    • Further research should explore the factors contributing to these observed gender differences in academic psychiatry.
