“…39 Understanding that surgeons are uniquely positioned to identify new opportunities for improving patient care and developing cures for human disease in such a model, a variety of academic surgical pathways have recently emerged. 40 These include education, ethics, global surgery, innovation, and collaborative team science.…”

Healthcare is most effectively delivered by high-performance teams, which require, not simply talent, but also diversity in their members, supported by a culture of equity that is open, supportive, and inclusive. Cognitive diversity offers a performance advantage, improving collective understanding and optimizing high-complexity problem solving. Diverse teams have been shown to outperform homogenous team, and this diversity, supplemented with equity and inclusion, yields a superior creative culture. High-performance teams rest on a foundation of standardized and inclusive recruitment practices. Standard recruitment procedures have been insufficient in broadening representation owing to the longstanding inequities and exclusion in medicine. As such, we have highlighted the opportunities for inclusive recruitment practices.

“…This might be attributed to a lack of time for surgeons to devote to research, a lack of departmental resources to support their projects, and insufficient training and mentorship for the development of academic surgery. 2 In terms of global and public health, surgical diseases are under-represented in funding and program initiatives compared, for example, with infectious diseases. 3 Hu et al documented that surgery experienced a relative decrease of about $51.7 million in research funding over a 10-year period, and this mostly affected R-awards (ie, for research projects) and K-awards (ie, for mentored research).…”

Background: Surgery is rapidly changing in terms of techniques, education, and methods of conducting research. To keep up with this pace, surgeons have recently focused on collaborative research projects. The aim of this review was to investigate practices for collaborations in surgical research. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the guidelines proposed by Peters et al. Publications on patterns of collaboration in surgical research between January 2000 and December 2020, irrespective of the study design or language of publication, which were indexed in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, were included. A research librarian assisted in choosing the search terms and conducting the search. The very broad nature of the subject necessitated a pragmatic search strategy, with primary focus on reviews about collaboration. A new form of crowd science was used that explored collaborations using social media and online shared documents. Results: The search identified 38 studies that covered different aspects of collaboration in surgical research. Global, specialist, trainee-/student-led, and patient-led collaboratives are growing in number and size. Implementation of information technologies in surgical collaboration is still limited. The review identified attempts to include researchers from low-and middle-income countries in these collaborations, but these were at the early stages. Conclusion: There are many patterns of collaboration in surgical research. Involvement of low-and middle-income countries will lead to capacity building in these countries, fast recruitment for surgical trials, and more generalizability of trial results. Due to the complex nature of surgical research, implementation of information technologies might improve the quality of research.

“…Scholarly activity and leadership are essential for attaining advancement in clinical academia. Recent research on the attributes of academic surgeons found dissemination of knowledge, publications, and leadership in professional organizations to be defining characteristics amongst those considered academic surgeons [ 3 ]. Much literature is available on gender differences in research funding and publication rates in surgical subspecialties, but little data exist reviewing gender equity in leadership amongst surgical organizations [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Introduction: Leadership amongst professional organizations is a key opportunity for scholarly activity which is essential for academic advancement. Our objective was to examine the differences between men and women in leadership within surgical organizations. Methods: Credentials were obtained through an internet search. Variables included organization type, leadership role, gender, advanced degree, medical school graduation year, and publications. A bivariate analysis was performed between genders. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Five hundred forty-three leaders were identified in 43 surgical organizations. There was a significant difference in the number of male and female leaders (72.7% vs 27.3%, p=0.016). Women were most likely to hold the role of “Other”, which consisted of lower-level leadership roles including committee chair positions and resident and medical student delegates (35.5%). Fewer women had publications (85.8% vs 92.9%, p=0.01), more women had advanced degrees (24.5% vs 17.0%, p=0.049), and women were involved earlier in their careers (5.9 years, 95% CI 4.1-7.7 years, p<0.001) than their male colleagues. Conclusion: Gender disparity in leadership of surgical organizations exists. Women are involved earlier in their careers and hold lower-level leadership positions reflecting potential for increased involvement in high-level leadership roles in the future. Data need to be trended to discern if women in surgical organizations rise within leadership roles as more women continue to enter surgical subspecialties.
