まとめ
少数派医学部の教員は,白人教員と比較して,上級学術ランクを達成する可能性が低い. この格差は,経験や生産性などの要因を考慮したとしても残っています.
科学分野:
- 医療教育 医療教育について
- 学術医学は,学術医学である.
- 教員の多様性 教員の多様性
背景:
- 以前の調査は,学術上の上級職に少数派教員の代表が不足していることを示している.
- 少数派教員は,多数派教員と比較して,より遅い昇進率を経験することがあります.
研究 の 目的:
- 少数派教員が多数派教員と同じくらい上級教員 (准教授または常任教授) になる可能性が高いかどうかを調査する.
- 学術的生産性や長年の経験など,昇進に影響を与える要因を調整する.
主な方法:
- 米国の24の医学部で3013人のフルタイムの教員を対象に全国調査が行われました.
- データは,自己管理された郵送調査を通じて収集され,部門,卒業コホート,および性別によって層分化されました.
- 主な成果指標は,上級学術ランクの達成でした.
主要な成果:
- 全体として,教員の54%が上級階級を担っていた. 黒人教員は30.5%,アジア系教員は43.4%,ヒスパニック系教員は40.8%,白人教員は58.3%でシニアランクを獲得しました.
- 白人の教員は,他のグループよりも著しく多くの出版物を持っていた.
- 複数の要因を調整した後,黒人教員は,白人教員と比較して,上級ランク (OR=0.33) を保持する確率が有意に低かった.
結論:
- 少数派教員は白人教員よりも上級学術ランクを持つ可能性が低い.
- この格差は,経験年数や学術生産性の測定値の違いによって説明されません.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Ranks
Unlike parametric methods, nonparametric statistics are ideal for nominal and ordinal data, requiring fewer assumptions about the population's nature or distribution. This makes nonparametric methods easier to apply and interpret, as they do not depend on parameters like mean or standard deviation. One common approach in nonparametric analysis is to sort data according to a specific criterion. For instance, we might arrange weather data from hottest to coldest days in a month or rank cities...
Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...
Drug Toxicity: Risk factors
Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are potential complications that arise during pharmacotherapy, influenced by multiple risk factors. Age plays a significant role; both neonates and the elderly are at heightened risk due to their respective immature and diminished metabolic and elimination processes. Gender also impacts ADRs, with females experiencing a 1.5 to 1.7-fold greater risk than males, which may be linked to pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and hormonal differences. Notably, neonates, the...
Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks
Friedman's Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks is a nonparametric test designed to identify differences across multiple test attempts when traditional assumptions of normality and equal variances do not apply. Unlike conventional ANOVA, which requires normally distributed data with equal variances, Friedman's test is ideal for ordinal or non-normally distributed data, making it particularly useful for analyzing dependent samples, such as matched subjects over time or repeated measures from...
