METHODS: Six top plastic surgery journals were queried from 2018 to 2023 using the search term \"diversity.\" Methods, conclusions, and recommendations were tabulated.
RESULTS: A total of 138 publications were identified; 68 studies presented data suitable for analysis. All studies were retrospective. Currently, over 40% of plastic surgery residency applicants are women. The proportion of women in integrated plastic surgery residents is now 43%. In 2021 and 2022, the percentage of female first-year residents exceeded men. The percentage of female presenters at meetings (34%) is double the number in the workforce (17%). Twenty-five percent of academic faculty positions and 22% of program director positions are now held by women. Underrepresented minorities account for fewer than 10% of applicants to integrated plastic surgery residencies.
CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of Black and Hispanic applicants to integrated plastic surgery residencies (6% and 8%, respectively) mirrors the proportion of Black and Hispanic medical students (7% and 6%, respectively). Numerous recommendations have been made to increase the proportion of underrepresented minorities in plastic surgery programs.
CONCLUSIONS: The representation of women in plastic surgery has increased dramatically. A lack of Hispanics and Blacks reflects a small pool of applicants, as opposed to a \"leaky pipeline.\"
方法:从2018年到2023年,使用搜索词“多样性”查询了六本顶级整形外科期刊。\“方法,结论,并列出了建议。
结果:共确定了138篇出版物;68篇研究提供了适合分析的数据。所有研究均为回顾性研究。目前,超过40%的整形外科住院医师申请人是女性。综合整形外科居民中的女性比例现在为43%。在2021年和2022年,女性第一年居民的比例超过了男性。参加会议的女性演讲者比例(34%)是劳动力人数(17%)的两倍。25%的学术教师职位和22%的项目主任职位现在由女性担任。代表性不足的少数民族占综合整形外科住院医师申请人的不到10%。
结论:黑人和西班牙裔申请人占综合整形外科住院医师的比例(6%和8%,分别)反映了黑人和西班牙裔医学生的比例(7%和6%,分别)。已经提出了许多建议,以增加整形外科计划中代表性不足的少数民族的比例。
结论:整形手术中女性的比例急剧增加。西班牙裔和黑人的缺乏反映了一小部分申请人,而不是“泄漏的管道”。\"
