Abstract

Medical schools with social missions have the potential to increase minority student interest in health disparities research. In previous work, the authors looked at the missions of medical schools to determine if they were associated with minority student representation. In this paper, the authors look at the representation of full-time faculty and senior leaders who are underrepresented in medicine in US medical schools. This study included all MD-granting medical schools in the US with available data on mission statement Social Mission Content (SMC) and faculty demographics. Data were analyzed for representation of faculty underrepresented in medicine (URM) among all faculty, among junior as compared to senior faculty, and among department chairs. In the 2013 data, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to characterize the association between SMC and contemporaneous URM faculty representation. In the 2014-2020 data, hierarchical linear models were used to estimate the association between SMC and the annual rate of change in URM faculty representation. In 2013, URM faculty accounted for 7.4% of all faculty at the median medical school, increasing to 8.4% in 2020. As of 2013, URM representation among junior faculty was 9.2% at the median school, 5.6% among senior faculty, and 4.3% among department chairs. The authors found a slow increase in the percentage of URM faculty members (but not department chairs). This trend did not vary between schools with lower vs. higher emphasis on a social mission (based on the mission statement). The increase in chair representation was determined to be associated with the type of the school, whether historically Black or Puerto Rican, and not precisely its mission.

医学院使命宣言的社会使命内容与少数民族教师在教师和高级领导中的代表性之间的关系。
具有社会使命的医学院有可能提高少数族裔学生对健康差异研究的兴趣。在之前的工作中,作者观察了医学院的使命,以确定它们是否与少数族裔学生代表性有关。在这篇论文中,作者观察了美国医学院全职教师和高级领导在医学领域代表性不足的情况。这项研究包括了美国所有授予医学博士学位的医学院,并提供了关于使命声明社会使命内容(SMC)和教师人口统计的可用数据。对数据进行了分析,以了解所有教员、初级教员与高级教员以及系主任中在医学(URM)方面代表性不足的教员的代表性。在2013年的数据中,计算了Pearson相关系数,以表征SMC和同期URM教师代表性之间的关联。在2014-2020年的数据中,使用分层线性模型来估计SMC与URM教师代表性的年变化率之间的关联。2013年,URM教员占中等医学院全体教员的7.4%,2020年增至8.4%。截至2013年,URM在中等学校的初级教师中的比例为9.2%,在高级教师中为5.6%,在系主任中为4.3%。作者发现URM教员(但不是系主任)的比例增长缓慢。这一趋势在对社会使命重视程度较低和较高的学校之间没有变化(基于使命声明)。校长代表人数的增加被确定与学校的类型有关,无论是历史上的黑人还是波多黎各人,而不是其使命。
