Abstract：
There are wide variations in the gender makeup of speakers at national pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) conferences with no significant change in recent years.
Gender disparities exist among national speakers and award recipients. PEM represents the intersection of pediatrics, a female-dominated specialty with approximately 58% women, and emergency medicine, a male-dominated specialty. We describe the proportion of women speakers and award recipients at two national PEM conferences, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Emergency Medicine (SOEM) and the Advanced PEM Assembly (APEMA), to the AAP National Conference & Exhibition (NCE), a national pediatric conference.
Data from SOEM and APEMA, obtained from 2016 to 2021 were compared to the 2021 NCE. Invited speakers, abstract presenters, and award recipients were identified. Gender was determined by searching each individual\'s name for self-identification. Gender proportions were compared across conferences, speaker type, and year.
Compared to the NCE, a significantly smaller proportion of women were invited speakers at APEMA (NCE 59.9% vs. APEMA 38.8%, p < 0.001), but similar proportions of women were invited speakers (53.9%, p = 0.178) and awardees at SOEM (50% vs. 50%, p = 1.0). A larger number of women were SOEM abstract presenters than invited speakers (63.3% vs. 53.9%, p = 0.041). Between 2016 and 2021, the proportion of women invited speakers (SOEM, p = 0.744; APEMA, p = 0.947) or abstract presenters (SOEM, p = 0.632) did not significantly change.
Compared to NCE, women are underrepresented as speakers at APEMA, but not at SOEM. Abstract presenters are more likely to be women compared to invited speakers. While awards appear equally distributed, recipients do not mirror the proportion of women in PEM. Conference organizers and leaders in PEM should ensure gender equity in national recognition.

摘要：
目标：国家演讲者和获奖者之间存在性别差异。儿科急诊医学（PEM）代表儿科的交叉点，一个以女性为主的专业，大约有58%的女性，和急诊医学，男性主导的专业。我们描述了两次全国PEM会议上女性演讲者和获奖者的比例，美国儿科学会（AAP）急诊医学科（SOEM）和高级PEM大会（APEMA），参加AAP全国会议和展览（NCE），全国儿科会议.
方法：来自SOEM和APEMA的数据，从2016-2021年获得的数据与2021年的NCE进行了比较。特邀演讲者,抽象的演讲者，并确定了获奖者。性别是通过搜索每个人的名字来确定的。不同会议的性别比例进行了比较，扬声器类型,和年份。
结果：与NCE相比，APEMA邀请演讲者的女性比例明显较低(NCE59.9%与APEMA38.8%,p<0.001)，但邀请演讲者的女性比例相似(53.9%，p=0.178)和SOEM的获奖者(50%与50%,p=1.0)。与受邀演讲者相比，SOEM摘要演讲者的女性人数更多（63.3％vs.53.9%,p=.041）。2016-2021年间，女性邀请演讲者的比例(SOEM，p=0.744；APEMA，p=0.947)或抽象演示者(SOEM，p=0.632)没有显著变化。
结论：与NCE相比，女性在APEMA的发言人人数不足，但不是在SOEM。与受邀演讲者相比，抽象演讲者更有可能是女性。虽然奖项似乎平均分配，接受者没有反映PEM中女性的比例。PEM的会议组织者和领导人应确保国家认可中的性别平等。
