“…5,6 In a survey of Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) members, Hambrecht et al 7 found that surgeons of color made up about 24% of respondents, females 37%, and nonheterosexual or nonstraight individuals approximately 11%. This inequity is consistent with other studies that identified diversity improvement areas within medical faculty, 4,6,8 leadership positions, and surgical societies. 9 The lack of explicit inclusion or promotion within mission statements or bylaws, 5,10 lack of scholastic opportunities, 11 or facilitation of scholarship and career development 12,13 exacerbates equity and inclusion challenges.…”

Unfortunately, to date, there have been no areas of academic medicine that have made substantial progress in the progression of women in academic careers to Professor, Deans or Department Chairs (Nguyen et al, 2022). Any interventions need careful evaluation to ensure they do not inadvertently increase inequity; they cannot be focused on the individual alone to fix this situation and what is very clear is organisational commitment and leadership are essential whatever approaches and interventions are trialled (Caffrey et al, 2016; Laver et al, 2018; Mousa et al, 2021).…”
