Intersectionality in Accredited Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Programs 2010-2020
Background
Among medical specialties, orthopaedic surgery residency consistently has the lowest racial/ethnic and gender diversity. Additionally, orthopaedic surgery has seen the slowest improvements in race/ethnic diversity when compared to other specialties. This study examined whether trends for intersectional race/ethnic and gender minority identity groups mimicked stratified trends for race/ethnicity and gender.
Methods
Data was obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) special report including self-reported race/ethnic and gender identity of active orthopaedic residents from 2010 through 2020. Racial and ethnic groups included American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN), Asian, Black, Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish origin (HSLO), Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NHPI), multiracial/other, and unknown. Trends in gender diversity across race/ethnic subgroups were analyzed over time.
Results
From 2010 to 2020, the percentage of trainees self-identifying as women in orthopaedic surgery residency programs increased by 4% with a corresponding decrease in trainees self-identifying as men (p < 0.001). Orthopaedic surgery observed a 1.7% increase in non-White residents from 2010 to 2020 (p = 0.009). Over the same period, the proportion of women among White trainees (13.0% to 17.0%; p < 0.001) and non-White trainees (14.2% to 17.5%; p = 0.007) significantly increased. However, the change in the non-White group was driven by Asian trainees who had a significant increase in women (13.1% to 17.8%; p = 0.003) while Black (19.9% to 19.6%; p = 0.306), HLSO (12.7% to 17.3%; p = 0.056), AIAN (12.5% to 16.7%; p = 0.875), NHPI (33.3% to 15.7%; p = 0.138), and Other cohorts (12% to 13.3%; p = 0.547) demonstrated no significant statistical changes
Conclusions
Orthopaedic surgery residency programs observed an increase in women trainees from 2010 to 2020, which was largely driven by an increase among White and Asian women. Meanwhile, current efforts to improve racial, ethnic, and gender diversity has not resulted in increased rates for Black, HLSO, AIAN, and NHPI women.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the National Medical Association, the official journal of the National Medical Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to address medical care disparities of persons of African descent.
The Journal of the National Medical Association is focused on specialized clinical research activities related to the health problems of African Americans and other minority groups. Special emphasis is placed on the application of medical science to improve the healthcare of underserved populations both in the United States and abroad. The Journal has the following objectives: (1) to expand the base of original peer-reviewed literature and the quality of that research on the topic of minority health; (2) to provide greater dissemination of this research; (3) to offer appropriate and timely recognition of the significant contributions of physicians who serve these populations; and (4) to promote engagement by member and non-member physicians in the overall goals and objectives of the National Medical Association.
