Abstract

BACKGROUND Most Gastroenterology (GI) societies support interventions to improve diversity in medicine. It remains unclear whether these efforts have been effective. OBJECTIVE Examine nationwide trends of underrepresented minorities in medicine (UIM) in GI compared to other Internal Medicine (IM) fellowships. METHODS Retrospective cohort study used Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) race and gender data from 2011 to 2021. Fellows identifying as Hispanic, African American, or Native American/Alaskan were subclassified as UIM. RESULTS The average percentage of fellows identifying as UIM or female in GI were lower than most IM specialties. The proportion of UIM fellows in GI did not increase during the studied time (p=0.98) unlike the proportion of female fellows (p=0.06) in GI. CONCLUSION Efforts to promote a more inclusive workforce in GI have had limited success over the past decade. Successful interventions that institutions can implement include supporting minority applicants, structured mentorship, and bias mitigation training.

未被充分代表的胃肠病学研究员的趋势。

背景：大多数胃肠病学（GI）学会支持干预措施以改善医学多样性。目前尚不清楚这些努力是否有效。目的：与其他内科（IM）奖学金相比，研究GI医学（UIM）中代表性不足的少数民族在全国范围内的趋势。方法回顾性队列研究采用美国研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME） 2011年至2021年的种族和性别数据。被认定为西班牙裔、非裔美国人或美洲原住民/阿拉斯加人的研究员被归类为UIM。结果GI中被认定为男性或女性的研究员的平均百分比低于大多数IM专科。与女性研究员在GI中的比例（p=0.06）不同，UIM研究员在GI中的比例在研究期间没有增加（p=0.98）。结论在过去十年中，促进GI劳动力更具包容性的努力取得了有限的成功。机构可以实施的成功干预措施包括支持少数族裔申请人、结构化指导和减少偏见培训。
