“…For instance, studies showed that sex equity among speakers was achieved in 2015 at the microbiology meeting [6]. In contrast, annual neurosurgery meetings failed to reach sex equity among speakers [19] as in hip and knee surgeon annual meeting [16]. In psychiatry, we found only two studies, which demonstrated that female representation at the French and Australian annual meetings improved over the years [20,21].…”

“…Also, studying sex disparity could in itself improve sex equity [6]. Previous studies have shown an underrepresentation of women at academic meetings [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The gap between the percentage of women in the workforce and the percentage of women among speakers, however, seems to decrease with time [7,9,15,18].…”

Objective Sex disparity is a major societal issue. The aim of this paper was to describe changes in the representation of women among speakers of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) annual meeting over 10 years, between 2009 and 2019 and to compare them to changes in the proportion of women among American psychiatrists. Methods Data were collected from the programs of the APA annual meetings of 2009 and 2019, and from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses were performed. Results There were 1,138 distinct speakers at the 2009 conference and 1,784 at the 2019 conference. The number of distinct female speakers increased from 413 (36.3%) to 813 (45.6%). The proportion of female speakers at the meetings was almost equivalent to the proportion of women in the American psychiatrists’ workforce. The number of female chairs increased from 158 (39.6%) to 322 (46.4%). There were 38 female speakers in child and adolescent psychiatry in 2009 (51.4% of 74 speakers) and 74 in 2019 (51.0% of 155 speakers). Conclusions The representation of women at the APA annual meetings increased between 2009 and 2019. At the same time, the growth in the percentage of women in the American psychiatrists’ workforce was slower. The APA appears to promote female representation during its annual meetings.

A 5-Year Update and Comparison of Factors Related to the Sex Diversity of Orthopaedic Residency Programs in the United States

Introduction: Female physicians have been historically underrepresented in orthopaedic surgery residencies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether sex diversity among orthopaedic residency programs and faculty is associated with an increased number of female residents matriculating into that program. In addition, we sought to analyze female resident matriculation trends in the past 5 years. Methods:The American Medical Association Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database was used to identify all allopathic orthopaedic surgery residency programs during the 2021 to 2022 academic year. The number of female residents and interns; the number of female faculty, professors, and associate professors; and the number of women in leadership positions were compared with data from the academic year 2016 to 2017. Continuous data were analyzed with independent t-tests, and significance was set at p < 0.05.Results: A total of 696 female residents (19.2%) were identified from 3,624 orthopaedic residents, an increase from 13.5% in 2016. Programs in the top quartile of female residents had 3 times the number of female residents per program when compared to other quartiles and almost double the number of female interns per program. Programs in the top quartile of female residents had a significantly greater number of female faculty per program than the lower quartiles; 5.76 vs. 4.18. Compared with 2016 to 2017, there were significant increases in female faculty per program from 2.77 to 4.54 along with female full professors from 0.274 to 0.694. These increases contribute to the overall growth in the number of women in leadership positions per program over the past 5 years to 1.01 from 0.35 (p < 0.001). Conclusion:In the past 5 years, the percentage of female residents has increased from 13.5% to 19.2%. Furthermore, women make up 22.1% of interns. Orthopaedic surgery residency programs with higher percentages of female faculty had higher numbers of female residents. By encouraging programs to promote female representation within leadership and residents, we may continue to see the gap in orthopaedic sex diversity close.

“…For example, AAHKS comprises just 3.1% female surgeons. 3 Earlier studies exploring the association between surgeon sex and outcomes have focused on medical or surgical complications [4][5][6] rather than patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Moreover, these earlier studies have conflicting conclusions.…”

Introduction:Female surgeons remain a minority within the field of orthopaedics, particularly in certain specialties such as arthroplasty. There is no scientific evidence on whether the surgeon's sex affects the patient-reported outcome after orthopaedic surgery such as total hip arthroplasty (THA). We therefore aimed to investigate the association between surgeon sex and health-related quality of life after THA.Methods:Data on primary THAs performed between 2008 and 2016 were collected from 10 hospitals in western Sweden. The data were linked with the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register, a regional patient register and the National Board of Health and Welfare, resulting in a data set that included surgeon-related and patient-related data. The outcome of the study was the change in health-related quality of life, measured with the 3-level version of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) Index and EQ-visual analog scale (VAS), before and 1-year after THA. Mixed models, using hierarchical linear regression adjusted for patient sex, age, preoperative health-related quality of life and Charnley classification, were fitted to estimate the gain in EQ-5D-3L Index and EQ-VAS with 95% confidence intervals based on surgeon sex.Results:In total, 8,383 primary THAs were done for osteoarthritis by 193 surgeons. Of those, 37 were women and 156 were men. The regression model was showed that patients operated by female surgeons had a β-coefficient of gain in EQ-5D-3L Index of −0.001 (−0.022 to 0.021) and a β-coefficient of gain in EQ VAS of 0.004 (−0.023 to 0.030), compared with patients operated by male surgeons. Similar results were obtained in a sensitivity analysis including attendings only.Discussion:Patients undergoing primary THA reported similar gain in health-related quality of life regardless of surgeon sex. Based on our results, health-related quality of life after primary THA was not associated with the sex of the operating surgeon.
