Abstract

Purpose

Despite an increase in the proportion of women entering the field of anesthesiology, women remain underrepresented in academic and leadership positions. Speaking at national and international conferences is an important component of academic visibility and promotion. To date, the gender representation of speakers at the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society (CAS) annual meeting has not been examined.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of the representation of women amongst speakers at the CAS annual meeting between 2007 and 2019, inclusively. We also examined the representation of women in different subspecialty subject area symposia at each CAS annual meeting, and the gender composition of meeting symposia panels (i.e., groups of two or more speakers in a session) at the meeting.

Results

Overall, 28.5% (358/1,256) of speaker slots included women, similar to their representation in Canadian clinical anesthesiology over the study period (26.7%), and increasing significantly over the study period. Women were more highly represented as obstetric anesthesia speakers at the CAS annual meetings, with lower representation in cardiothoracic anesthesia, transplant anesthesia, and critical care symposia. Of the 311 meeting symposia, 146 (46%) were composed of all men speakers.

Conclusion

The representation of women speakers at the CAS annual meeting was similar to the representation of women in the anesthesiology workforce in Canada over the study period. Gender representation varied widely by subspecialty symposia, subject area, and women were absent from nearly half of all symposia at the CAS annual meetings, which are potential areas of future investigation and intervention.

在加拿大麻醉医师学会年会上女性代表的代表:2007年至2019年的回顾性分析

摘要

目的

尽管进入麻醉学领域的妇女比例有所增加,但妇女在学术和领导职务中的人数仍然不足。在国家和国际会议上发表演讲是提高学术知名度和促进学习的重要组成部分。迄今为止,尚未审查过加拿大麻醉医师协会(CAS)年会发言人的性别代表。

方法

我们对2007年至2019年间(含)的CAS年会上的女性代表进行了回顾性分析。在每次CAS年会上,我们还研究了妇女在不同的专业领域专题讨论会中的代表情况,并在会议上研究了会议专题讨论会的性别组成(即,一个会议中有两个或多个发言人组成的小组)。

结果

总体而言,在研究期内,有28.5%(358 / 1,256)的演讲嘉宾包括女性,与她们在加拿大临床麻醉学中的代表比例(26.7%)相似,并且在研究期间显着增加。在CAS年会上,妇女担任产科麻醉发言人的比例更高,而在心胸麻醉,移植麻醉和重症监护专题讨论会中,女性的比例较低。在311次会议专题讨论会中,有146人占46%由所有男性演讲者组成。

结论

在研究期间,CAS年度会议上女发言人的代表与加拿大麻醉学工作者中女代表的代表相似。在各专业领域的专题讨论会,主题领域中,性别代表差异很大,在CAS年会上,几乎所有专题讨论会的一半都没有妇女,这是未来调查和干预的潜在领域。
