Ocular Oncologists and Ophthalmic Pathologists in Academic Ophthalmology: A Descriptive Analysis of the Current Workforce in the United States

Objective

To characterize the academic profiles, leadership roles, research productivity, and gender disparities of ocular oncologists and ophthalmic pathologists (OOPs) and compare them with all other ophthalmologists (AOOs).

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Subjects, Participants, and/or Controls

Faculty from Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited US ophthalmology residency programs for the 2024-2025 academic year were included. OOPs were identified by fellowship training in ocular oncology or ophthalmic pathology; all other faculty served as the comparison group (AOOs).

Methods

Publicly available data from institutional websites were used to identify demographic characteristics, training history, academic rank, leadership roles, and Scopus-based research metrics. Chi-square tests, logistic regression, and ordinal regression models were used to assess group differences, with significance set at P < .05.

Main Outcome Measures

Academic rank, leadership roles, H-index, and gender representation.

Results

Among 86 identified OOPs, a significantly greater proportion held graduate degrees and had completed multiple fellowships compared with AOOs. A majority of OOPs were international medical graduates. OOPs had higher odds of holding leadership roles and attaining full professorship and demonstrated significantly higher research productivity across all career stages. Gender disparities in H-index and academic rank were observed on univariable analysis but were not significant on multivariable analysis. H-index was the strongest predictor of academic advancement. OOPs were geographically clustered in states with major academic centers.

Conclusions

OOPs demonstrate unique academic profiles marked by high research productivity, advanced degrees, and greater representation in leadership. Gender disparities diminish when accounting for academic output, suggesting that research productivity remains the key driver of promotion in this subspecialty.

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Ophthalmology is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists describing clinical investigations, clinical observations, and clinically relevant laboratory investigations. Published monthly since 1884, the full text of the American Journal of Ophthalmology and supplementary material are also presented online at www.AJO.com and on ScienceDirect. The American Journal of Ophthalmology publishes Full-Length Articles, Perspectives, Editorials, Correspondences, Books Reports and Announcements. Brief Reports and Case Reports are no longer published. We recommend submitting Brief Reports and Case Reports to our companion publication, the American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports. Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere substantially in any format, and that there are no ethical problems with the content or data collection. Authors may be requested to produce the data upon which the manuscript is based and to answer expeditiously any questions about the manuscript or its authors.
