Abstract：
Background Orthopedic surgery residency programs are some of the least gender-diverse specialty programs in medicine. Despite strong representation at the undergraduate and medical school levels and increased applications to orthopedic surgery residency programs by women, there is still a substantial gender gap at the resident level. This study explores the relationship between the gender diversity of orthopedic surgery residency programs and program rankings. Methodology Program rank, program director gender identity, and gender diversity data were collected for the top 100 programs by reputation in Doximity. Gender diversity was measured as the proportion of female residents in the program and alumni. Results The greatest percentage of women in a program was 33% and the smallest was 3%. After linear regression analysis, we found that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between program rank and the proportion of women. The higher ranked a program was, the greater the proportion of women. There was no significant correlation between program director gender, appointment year, and program rank. Conclusions These results suggest that, although there is still a long way to go before closing the gender gap in orthopedic surgery residency programs, higher-ranked programs are associated with greater gender diversity than their lower-ranked counterparts.
摘要：
背景技术骨科手术住院医师计划是医学中性别最少的一些专业计划。尽管在本科和医学院有很强的代表性，而且女性对骨科手术住院医师计划的申请也有所增加，居民一级仍然存在巨大的性别差距。这项研究探讨了骨科手术住院医师计划的性别多样性与计划排名之间的关系。方法论程序排名，项目主管性别认同，按Doximity的声誉收集了前100个项目的性别多样性数据。性别多样性衡量为计划中女性居民和校友的比例。结果一个项目中女性比例最高的是33%，最小的是3%。经过线性回归分析，我们发现，程序等级和女性比例之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。排名越高的节目，女性比例越大。项目主管性别之间没有显著的相关性，任命年,和程序等级。结论这些结果表明,尽管在骨科住院医师计划中缩小性别差距还有很长的路要走，与排名较低的方案相比，排名较高的方案与更大的性别多样性相关。
