Abstract

In academic craniofacial surgery, gender disparities exist across various metrics including faculty positions, leadership roles, and conference representation. This study benchmarks the academic productivity of craniofacial surgeons in 2022 and surveys their perspectives regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Total, first author, and senior author PubMed publications in 2022 were recorded for 193 craniofacial attendings and fellows. Craniofacial surgeons were also surveyed regarding academic experience, leadership roles, and DEI perceptions.

Electronic.

26 craniofacial attendings.

Total, first author, and senior author publication counts in 2022.

Women comprised 27% (n = 53) of the craniofacial surgeon cohort. Men led total publications (81% vs 19%, p < 0.001), senior-author publications (84% vs 16%, p < 0.001), average total publications (6.6 vs 4.0, p = 0.043), and average senior-author publications (3.1 vs 1.5, p = 0.02). Sub-analysis of craniofacial fellows showed a higher proportion of women (65%) with no statistical difference in total or average publication counts. Survey responses (n = 26) included a perceived lack of female representation in academic and leadership roles. Barriers included inadequate support from current leadership, systemic issues, and biases. Recommendations for improvement included mentorship programs, targeted recruitment, and equitable conference speaker selection.

Ongoing gender disparities are evident in craniofacial surgery, particularly in academic metrics. However, trends in younger cohorts exhibit more balanced gender representation, publication records, and leadership positions, indicating potential improvements. Further studies are needed to examine these cohorts more comprehensively and longitudinally. Sustained commitment, including mentorship programs and enhanced DEI efforts, is needed to continue this progress.

出版趋势与外科医生的看法:颅面外科性别差异综合分析》。
在颅面外科学术领域,性别差异存在于各种指标中,包括教师职位、领导角色和会议代表。本研究以 2022 年颅面外科医生的学术生产力为基准,调查了他们对多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)的看法。研究记录了 193 名颅面外科主治医师和研究员在 2022 年发表的论文总数、第一作者和资深作者。此外,还对颅颌面外科医生的学术经历、领导角色和对 DEI 的看法进行了调查。在颅颌面外科医生群体中,女性占 27%(n = 53)。在颅颌面外科学领域,尤其是在学术指标方面,性别差异是显而易见的。不过,年轻组群的趋势显示出性别代表性、发表论文记录和领导职位更加平衡,这表明可能会有所改善。还需要进一步研究,对这些群体进行更全面的纵向考察。要想继续取得进展,还需要持续的努力,包括导师计划和强化的 DEI 工作。
