摘要

由于对女性的一些障碍，骨科手术缺乏性别平等。住院医师项目可以通过考虑影响女性住院医师选择的因素来增加性别平等。我们研究的目的是确定诸如女性友好的机构氛围，透明的育儿假政策，或更多的女性住院医师，教师和领导等因素是否与骨科住院医师项目中更高比例的女性实习生有关。我们还旨在找出女性如何将上述因素与其他因素（如早期手术经验和项目声望）进行比较。方法回顾住院医师计划网站（n = 188）中女性实习生、住院医师/校友和教员的百分比；女性领导者;育儿假透明度；以及其他关键的制度因素。对骨科主治医师/住院医师（n = 84）进行了调查，了解这些因素与其他因素（如项目声望）在住院医师排名中的重要性。结果在第一个研究问题中，女性实习生比例与女性住院医师/校友/教职员工比例和女性友好型机构因素呈正相关。关于第二个研究问题，调查对象重视女性主治医师/领导/住院医师的数量和机构氛围，而不强调育儿假政策。然而，更重要的是其他因素（早期手术经验，位置，项目声望）。结论文献显示骨科手术缺乏性别多样性。机构氛围和项目中的其他女性是女性住院医师项目选择的重要因素，还有其他变量。强调这些因素的项目可能会增加女性申请者的数量。骨科住院医师项目可以通过增加女性校友/教员的比例和女性友好型机构因素来增加女性实习生的比例。这将改善执业医师的人口统计和减少性别差距在医疗保健。

Women in Orthopedics and Their Residency Programs: What Influenced Their Choices?

Introduction

Orthopedic surgery lacks gender parity owing to several barriers to women. Residency programs may increase gender parity by considering factors influencing women's residency choices. The purpose of our study is to determine if factors such as having a women-friendly institutional climate, transparent parental leave policy, or more women residents, faculty, and leaders related to a higher percentage of women interns in orthopedic residency programs. We also aimed to find how women consider the above factors compared to others such as early surgical experience and program prestige.

Methods

Residency program websites (n = 188) were reviewed for percentage of women interns, residents/alumni, and faculty; women leaders; parental leave transparency; and other key institutional factors. Orthopedic attendings/residents (n = 84) were surveyed on the importance of these factors versus other factors (e.g., program prestige) in ranking residencies.

Results

With respect to the first study question, percentage of women interns was positively correlated with percentages of women residents/alumni/faculty and woman-friendly institutional factors. With respect to the second study question, survey respondents valued numbers of women attendings/leaders/residents and institutional climate while deemphasizing parental leave policy. However, greater importance was placed on other factors (early surgical experience, location, program prestige).

Conclusions

Literature shows that orthopedic surgery lacks gender diversity. Institutional climate and other women in the program are important factors in women's residency program choices, along with other variables. Programs emphasizing these factors may increase numbers of women applicants. Orthopedic residency programs can increase their percentage of women interns by increasing their percentage of women alumni/faculty and women-friendly institutional factors. This will improve practicing physician demographics and reduce gender disparities in healthcare.
