Abstract

Abstract: This was a cross-sectional study of sports medicine fellows from previous (2010-2015) and contemporary (2016-2021) training periods. There were 2315 trainees from family medicine (FM, 85%), 261 trainees from physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR, 10%), and 133 trainees from emergency medicine (EM, 5%). PMR had the highest female and Asian trainee representation while FM had the highest Black trainee representation. There was no difference in female representation between training periods (30% vs 30%, P = 0.714). White trainee representation decreased between training periods (72% vs 65%, P < 0.001). Black (6% vs 6%, P = 0.894), Asian (15% vs 15%, P = 0.970), and Hispanic (6% vs 7%, P = 0.130) trainee representation was consistent between training periods. Female (participation-to-prevalence ratio, PPR = 0.59), Black (PPR = 0.48), Hispanic (PPR = 0.35), and American Indian/Alaskan Native (PPR = 0.17) trainees were underrepresented in sports medicine relative to the US population. Efforts to recruit underrepresented groups in sports medicine fellowship training may help create a more diverse workforce.

运动医学的劳动力多样性：与美国人口相关的近期趋势分析。

摘要：本研究对以往（2010-2015年）和当代（2016-2021年）训练期间的运动医学研究员进行了横断面研究。家庭医学学员2315人（FM，占85%），物理医学与康复学学员261人（PMR，占10%），急诊医学学员133人（EM，占5%）。PMR的女性和亚洲学员比例最高，而FM的黑人学员比例最高。不同训练期的女性代表人数没有差异（30% vs 30%, P = 0.714）。培训期间白人学员的比例下降（72% vs 65%, P < 0.001）。黑人（6%对6%，P = 0.894）、亚洲人（15%对15%，P = 0.970）和西班牙裔（6%对7%，P = 0.130）学员的代表性在各培训期间是一致的。与美国人口相比，女性（参与-患病率比，PPR = 0.59）、黑人（PPR = 0.48）、西班牙裔（PPR = 0.35）和美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（PPR = 0.17）的学员在运动医学领域的代表性不足。努力在运动医学奖学金培训中招募代表性不足的群体，可能有助于创造更多样化的劳动力。

期刊介绍： As an official clinical journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), Current Sports Medicine Reports is unique in its focus entirely on the clinical aspects of sports medicine. This peer-reviewed journal harnesses the tremendous scientific and clinical resources of ACSM to develop articles reviewing recent and important advances in the field that have clinical relevance. The journal’s goal is to translate the latest research and advances in the field into information physicians can use in caring for their patients. To accomplish this goal, the journal divides the broad field of sports medicine into 12 sections, each headed by a physician editor with extensive practical experience in that area. The current sections include: Head, Neck, and Spine - General Medical Conditions - Chest and Abdominal Conditions - Environmental Conditions - Sideline and Event Management - Training, Prevention, and Rehabilitation - Exercise is Medicine- Nutrition & Ergogenic Aids - Extremity and Joint Conditions - Sport-specific Illness and Injury - Competitive Sports - Special Populations
