“…[ 13 ] Finally, the 10th most populous country in the world, Mexico, with 126 million inhabitants, has only about 1146 neurosurgeons, with an HDI of 0.758. [ 10 ] Of interest, the FLANC documented a ratio of 1.4 neurosurgeons for every 100,000 inhabitants. Interestingly, Japan, the 11 th most populous country (i.e., 124 million inhabitants), has about 7495 neurosurgeons (i.e., largest number in world; HDI of 0.925).…”

Background: Harvey Cushing and collaborators created the first society of neurosurgeons in 1920, in the United States of America, the Society of Neurological Surgeons. In 1955, the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) was created in Switzerland to improve neurosurgical care globally through the scientific cooperation of members. The performance of neurosurgical associations today is fundamental to discuss diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches, transforming modern medicine. Although most neurosurgical associations are recognized worldwide, there are some societies that are not recognized internationally due to a lack of regulatory bodies and lack of official digital channels, among other reasons. The main objective of the article is to list the neurosurgical societies and to provide a more integrated view of the interactions between neurosurgical societies in different countries. Methods: We developed a table summarizing the countries recognized by the United Nations, the continents, capitals, name of the present societies, and social networks. We utilized “Country AND (Neurosurgery OR Neurological Surgery) AND (Society OR Association),” in English, and in the native language of the country. Our search included: PubMed, Scopus, Google, Google Scholar, and the WFNS website, without filters. Results: We found 189 neurosurgery associations, from 131 countries and territories; 77 countries did not have their own neurosurgical societies. Conclusion: There is a difference between the number of internationally recognized societies, and the number of societies found in this study. In the future, we should better organize neurosurgical societies in countries that have neurosurgical activity with those without such resources.

“…En contraste, según datos de 2017, las especialidades que concentran mayor población masculina en México son urología (con una relación de 45 varones por cada mujer), neurocirugía (relación 18 a 1) y traumatología y ortopedia (14 a 1) (Heinze-Martin, Olmedo-Canchola, Bazán-Miranda, Bernard-Fuentes, y Guízar-Sánchez, 2018).…”

Este artículo aborda el problema de la jerarquización y división sexual del trabajo en la profesión médica. El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer los estereotipos de género asociados a algunas especialidades médicas y la relación que éstos guardan con el prestigio de esas disciplinas. El análisis se realizó a partir de una serie de memes compartidos en redes sociales por profesionales de la salud y que posteriormente fueron comentados en cuatro grupos de discusión conformados por estudiantes de medicina y especialistas mexicanos. Los hallazgos de esta investigación permiten concluir que en la profesión médica existe una jerarquía generizada que replica formas de masculinidades hegemónicas y subalternas, y en la cual la heterosexualidad juega un papel determinante, evitando de este modo simplificaciones que clasifican algunas especialidades como femeninas y otras como masculinas. Este trabajo brinda herramientas para contestar y desmantelar los estereotipos de género asociados a ciertas especialidades médicas, lo que contribuye a avanzar hacia una equidad de género dentro de la profesión.

“…In 2015, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reported the existence of more specialist doctors than General Practitioners and family doctors (65% and 35%, respectively) in Mexico. In 2017, there were 147,910 medical specialists in the country (Heinze-Martin, Olmedo-Canchola, Bazán-Miranda, Bernard-Fuentes, & Guízar-Sánchez, 2018). A total of 54.2% of the latter were concentrated in Mexico City, Estado de México, Jalisco and Nuevo León, with the remaining 45.8% being distributed among the other 28 states.…”

Association between Burnout Syndrome and medical training by specialty in first-year residents

et al. 2020

Introduction. Burnout syndrome (BOS) comprises emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment in those affected. Instruments such as the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) can help to identify those affected. Physicians in training have been described as an at-risk group for this syndrome. Objective. Describe the association between BOS and medical training by specialty in first-year residents. Method. This is a cross-sectional analytical study of specialty residents at the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara. Sociodemographic data were obtained and the MBI was administered to identify BOS. Samples were compared, and a comparative analysis performed to identify factors associated with BOS. Results. Eighty-eight residents were included, with 21.6% (n = 19) presenting BOS, 53.4% displaying emotional exhaustion (n = 47), 53.7% showing depersonalization (n = 47), and 39.8% reduced personal accomplishment (n = 35). Presenting BOS was not associated with sociodemographic characteristics or type of specialty. Work hours (ro = .229, p = .032), and a higher number of on-call hours/week (ro = .34, p = .001) were associated with higher BOS. Discussion and conclusion. The prevalence of BOS was lower than expected. Over half scored for emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, which could be explained by a self-reporting bias. There was no association between the group/type of specialty and BOS. This study creates new knowledge that works as an institutional situational diagnosis, helps to determine the scope of the problem, and encourages to consider the contributing factors to its origin and maintenance.
