“…In other surgical sub-specialty fields; however, there is room to grow, as evidenced by thoracic surgery PDs (90% men, 10% women) and Abdominal transplant surgery (83% men, 17% women) [ 8 , 25 ]. These male dominated numbers hold true among other sub-specialty FDs including interventional radiology, ophthalmology, orthopedic reconstruction, radiologists, and gastroenterology [ 7 , 9 , 26 , 27 ]. Currently, surgical oncology/complex surgical oncology does not have a similar demographic paper published in the literature to our knowledge.…”

Trends in leadership at breast surgical oncology fellowships

Introduction Breast surgical oncology is a defined sub-specialty of general surgery that focuses on the surgical management of breast disease and malignancy within a multidisciplinary context. The fellowship directors (FD) that lead these programs have been selected for their abilities. As programs do research to ensure proper training for the next generation of breast surgical oncologists, we wanted to look into the FDs responsible for their training. Methods The Breast Surgical Oncology care program list was compiled via the Society of Surgical Oncology and American Society of Breast Surgeons Accredited programs ( n = 60). The demographic information that was of interest included, but was not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity/background, past residency training, past fellowship training, year graduated from residency and fellowship, year since graduation to FD appointment, time at institution till FD appointment, and Hirsch index (h-index). Results Data were collected on all 60 FDs. The average age of FDs was 52 years old, 27% of FDs are men and 73% of FDs are women. The average H-index, number of publications, and number of citations were 19, 67, and 2648, respectively. The mean graduation year from residency was 2003, and from fellowship was 2006; with a mean of 9 years post fellowship graduation until becoming an FD. The most frequently attended residency was Rush ( n = 4), and the most common fellowships were Memorial Sloan Kettering ( n = 8), MD Anderson Cancer Center ( n = 7), and John Wayne Cancer Institute ( n = 4). Nine of the FDs stayed at the same institution after doing both residency and fellowship there (15%). Conclusion This is the first study to examine the demographics of those in FD positions in Surgical Breast Oncology, which is a relatively young fellowship. We found that FDs in Breast Surgical Oncology are defined by their high output of research. This qualification may be why the average age, and the number of years to FD are higher compared to other specialties where this research has been undertaken. Initial evaluation of FDs suggest more diversity in this field is needed. Further insight into the leaders training our next generation of surgeons is warranted.

“…Recognizing this distinction may help identify and address each group’s distinct needs and goals. For example, a recent study showed that early-career interventional radiologists feel that they have different needs than their senior counterparts, especially for mentorship, networking, and identification of the unique barriers facing early-career physicians [ 6 ].…”

As in any field, radiologists may face a number of challenges as they navigate their early careers. Because with experience comes wisdom, early-career radiologists may find helpful the advice and perspectives of mid-and late-career radiologists. The Society of Abdominal Radiology recognizes the value of this pool of knowledge and experience, prompting the establishment of the Early Career Committee. This group is designed to support early-career radiologists by sharing the experiences

“…In terms of methodology, the previous studies are largely based on traditional methods of multiple linear regression analysis. Goswami et al (2022) used multivariable logistic regression analysis in a cross-sectional study to discover the effects of scholarly metrics [ 22 ]. Juraqulova et al (2019) chose ordered probit models and found that a good performance in scholarly metrics will increases one’s hiring and/or promotional prospects in academia [ 23 ].…”

Objective: We sought to understand the status of promotion pressure among university teachers in China. This study explored the promotion duration and influencing factors among teachers in different disciplines of the social sciences. Methods: Using event history analysis, this study collected data regarding university teachers of China. The sample included 536 teachers who had been promoted from assistant to associate professor and 243 teachers promoted from associate to full professor. Our results revealed that the overall time required for promotion in the social sciences is relatively long. For those promoted from assistant to associate professor, the mean time for promotion was 14.155 years, with a median of 11 years, while for the transition from associate to full professor, the mean was 13.904 years with a median of nine years. Furthermore, in the survival function of the promotion duration, there is a stage pattern for both assistant to associate professor and associate to full professor. In addition, the Kaplan–Meier results showed that the mean promotion time in economics was the shortest. The Cox regression results indicated that males had a higher chance of promotion than females, and faculty members with doctoral degrees had a higher likelihood of promotion than those without. For those advancing from assistant to associate professor, the university of employment had significant positive effects on promotion. This paper provides empirical support for the current societal concerns regarding promotion pressure among university teachers.
