Evolving Gender Dynamics in India's Nephrology Workforce: A Decadal Analysis (2013-2023).
The field of medicine has long been marked by gender disparities, with men predominantly occupying higher academic ranks while women were underrepresented. In recent years, there have been marked changes in the gender ratio among medical professionals in Nephrology. This study analysed gender dynamics within the Indian Nephrology fraternity. The primary objectives were to evaluate the gender distribution among nephrology residents/fellows in subspecialty courses over the past decade (2013-2023), faculty members, and heads of departments (HODs). Data was collected from 27 academic centres. Data from 27 institutions showed a consistent increase in nephrology residents, from 76 in 2013 to 112 in 2023. The proportion of female residents increased significantly from 22.4% in 2013 to 38.4% in 2023. A statistically significant increase in female residents (p < 0.05), alongside a corresponding decrease in male residents, was noted. Among faculty members, 22.4% were females, and 20.4% of HODs were female. Female representation on the governing council of the Indian Society of nephrology (ISN) was limited. Since its inception, the role of ISN secretary has been held by eight individuals, all of whom have been male. Since 1971, the ISN has had a total of 42 presidents, with only 4 being female. The editorialship of IJN has never been stewarded by a female member to date. The findings demonstrate a positive trend towards gender parity in India's nephrology workforce over the past decade, reflecting broader societal acceptance and enhanced support for women in nephrology.
