在学术颅面外科中,性别差异存在于各种指标中,包括教师职位,领导角色,会议代表。这项研究以2022年颅面外科医生的学术生产力为基准,并调查了他们对多样性的看法。股本,和包容性(DEI)。
总计,第一作者,和资深作者PubMed在2022年的出版物记录了193名颅面部护理和研究员。颅面外科医生也接受了关于学术经验的调查,领导角色,和DEI感知。

总计,第一作者,和高级作者出版物在2022年计算。
女性占颅面外科医生队列的27%(n=53)。男性主导总出版物(81%对19%,p<0.001),资深作者出版物(84%对16%,p<0.001),平均总出版物(6.6vs4.0,p=0.043),和平均高级作者出版物(3.1vs1.5,p=0.02)。颅面研究员的子分析显示,女性比例较高(65%),总出版物或平均出版物计数无统计学差异。调查答复(n=26)包括在学术和领导角色中缺乏女性代表。障碍包括现任领导层的支持不足,系统性问题,和偏见。改进建议包括导师计划,有针对性的招募,和公平的会议发言人选择。
持续的性别差异在颅面手术中很明显,特别是在学术指标方面。然而,年轻群体的趋势表现出更均衡的性别代表性,出版记录,和领导职位,表明潜在的改进。需要进一步的研究来更全面和纵向地检查这些队列。持续的承诺,包括指导计划和增强的DEI努力,需要继续这一进展。
In academic craniofacial surgery, gender disparities exist across various metrics including faculty positions, leadership roles, and conference representation. This study benchmarks the academic productivity of craniofacial surgeons in 2022 and surveys their perspectives regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Total, first author, and senior author PubMed publications in 2022 were recorded for 193 craniofacial attendings and fellows. Craniofacial surgeons were also surveyed regarding academic experience, leadership roles, and DEI perceptions.

26 craniofacial attendings.
Total, first author, and senior author publication counts in 2022.
Women comprised 27% (n = 53) of the craniofacial surgeon cohort. Men led total publications (81% vs 19%, p < 0.001), senior-author publications (84% vs 16%, p < 0.001), average total publications (6.6 vs 4.0, p = 0.043), and average senior-author publications (3.1 vs 1.5, p = 0.02). Sub-analysis of craniofacial fellows showed a higher proportion of women (65%) with no statistical difference in total or average publication counts. Survey responses (n = 26) included a perceived lack of female representation in academic and leadership roles. Barriers included inadequate support from current leadership, systemic issues, and biases. Recommendations for improvement included mentorship programs, targeted recruitment, and equitable conference speaker selection.
Ongoing gender disparities are evident in craniofacial surgery, particularly in academic metrics. However, trends in younger cohorts exhibit more balanced gender representation, publication records, and leadership positions, indicating potential improvements. Further studies are needed to examine these cohorts more comprehensively and longitudinally. Sustained commitment, including mentorship programs and enhanced DEI efforts, is needed to continue this progress.
