Diversity in Interventional Radiology Residency Programs
Purpose
The aim of this study was to assess diversity within integrated interventional radiology (IR) residency programs.
Methods
The annual Association of American Medical Colleges Report on Residents, an observational cross-sectional study, was accessed from 2018 through 2023 to extract demographic information (gender, race, and type of medical school) on the various residency programs, including integrated IR. Demographic data were compared among different specialties using the χ2 test, with a significance level of P < .05.
Results
In 2023, integrated IR ranked 20th, 21st, and 19th out of the 21 specialties assessed for the representation of women, black, and Hispanic residents, respectively. The proportion of women increased from 20% in academic year (AY) 2018-2019 to 22.3% in AY 2022-2023. The percentage of black residents increased from 2.2% in AY 2019-2020 to 3.8% in AY 2022-2023, whereas that of Hispanics decreased from 7.1% to 6.6%. Additionally, the percentage of American Indians and Alaska Natives decreased from 0.8% to 0.7%, whereas that of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders increased from 0% to 0.1%.
Conclusions
Diversity in integrated IR residency is one of the lowest among the medical specialties and has progressed minimally. A concerted effort to increase awareness and inclusion in the specialty would broaden its appeal and may eventually improve its availability.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of the American College of Radiology, JACR informs its readers of timely, pertinent, and important topics affecting the practice of diagnostic radiologists, interventional radiologists, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists. In so doing, JACR improves their practices and helps optimize their role in the health care system. By providing a forum for informative, well-written articles on health policy, clinical practice, practice management, data science, and education, JACR engages readers in a dialogue that ultimately benefits patient care.
