Abstract

Purpose: To characterize American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) fellowship graduates' career paths and contributions to society missions, including trends across gender, time, and geography.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, ASOPRS fellowship graduates from 2000 to 2021 were stratified by demographics, time, and geography. Main outcomes were career paths and contributions to ASOPRS missions of advancing education, research, and quality of clinical practice.

Results: Among 474 ASOPRS graduates, women increased from 19% (2000-2005) to 47% (2016-2021). Women contributed equally to men in most ASOPRS missions but were underrepresented as fellowship directors ( p = 0.03). Over time, graduates after 2005 had higher publication rates (adjusted p < 0.001). Geographically, Northeast fellows (adjusted p = 0.034) and Midwest employment (adjusted p = 0.003) correlated with academic careers, while West employment conferred community careers (adjusted p < 0.001). Geographic retention near fellowship directly correlated with academic careers (adjusted p = 0.006), educational roles (adjusted p < 0.001), and publications (adjusted p = 0.006). Forty-one percent practiced in the 5 most saturated states, with fewer in the Midwest. The attrition rate of United States ASOPRS fellows who left the national workforce was 2%.

Conclusions: From 2000 to 2021, ASOPRS fellows entered diverse career paths with increasing gender parity, though women were underrepresented as fellowship directors. Career paths and contributions to the field varied geographically. Graduates frequently practice in saturated states, potentially exacerbating access disparities in underserved regions. These findings highlight opportunities to address geographic differences, promote workforce diversity, and align fellowships with society objectives.

2000-2021年美国眼科整形与重建外科学会奖学金毕业生的职业道路、实践地点和学术贡献。
目的:描述美国眼科整形与重建外科学会(ASOPRS)奖学金毕业生的职业道路和对社会使命的贡献,包括跨性别、时间和地理的趋势。方法:在这项回顾性队列研究中,根据人口统计学、时间和地理因素对2000年至2021年ASOPRS奖学金毕业生进行分层。主要结果是职业发展道路和对ASOPRS推进教育、研究和临床实践质量的使命的贡献。结果:在474名ASOPRS毕业生中,女性从2000-2005年的19%增加到2016-2021年的47%。在大多数ASOPRS特派团中,妇女的贡献与男子相当,但担任研究金主任的人数不足(p = 0.03)。随着时间的推移,2005年以后的毕业生发表率更高(调整后p < 0.001)。从地理上看,东北研究员(调整p = 0.034)和中西部就业(调整p = 0.003)与学术职业相关,而西部就业授予社区职业(调整p < 0.001)。研究金附近的地域保留与学术生涯(调整后p = 0.006)、教育角色(调整后p < 0.001)和出版物(调整后p = 0.006)直接相关。41%的人在人口最饱和的5个州练习,中西部的人数较少。美国ASOPRS研究员离开国家劳动力市场的流失率为2%。结论:从2000年到2021年,ASOPRS研究员进入了多样化的职业道路,性别平等程度不断提高,尽管女性在研究员董事中的比例不足。职业道路和对该领域的贡献因地而异。毕业生经常在饱和的州实习,这可能会加剧服务不足地区的准入差距。这些发现强调了解决地域差异、促进劳动力多样性和使奖学金与社会目标保持一致的机会。
