Background

The diversity among general surgery residency, HPB and other fellowship program directors has been previously analyzed. However, the diversity in abdominal transplant surgery fellowship program directors remains unknown.

Methods

Abdominal transplant fellowship programs and the corresponding program directors were identified from the American Society of Transplant Surgeons website. Demographic and training information for the members was compiled through internet searches and analyzed.

Results

72 program directors were included. 83.33% were male. 63.9% were non-Hispanic White, 25% were Asian, along with 5.56% Hispanic and Black each. Male program directors were more likely to be Associate Professor (p = 0.041), while females were more likely to be Assistant Professor (p = 0.021). 66% of female program directors were non-Hispanic White.

Conclusion

Transplant surgery fellowship programs are primarily led by male and non-Hispanic White surgeons. Female representation as leaders is on par with their membership in the transplant surgery workforce. There is a deficiency of both male and female underrepresented minorities in program director positions.

移植手术研究金项目主任的多样性：行动呼吁

背景

之前已经分析了普通外科住院医师、HPB 和其他奖学金项目主任之间的多样性。然而，腹部移植手术奖学金项目负责人的多样性仍然未知。

方法

腹部移植奖学金项目和相应的项目负责人是从美国移植外科医生协会网站上确定的。成员的人口统计和培训信息是通过互联网搜索和分析的。

结果

包括 72 名项目负责人。83.33% 为男性。63.9% 为非西班牙裔白人，25% 为亚裔，西班牙裔和黑人各占 5.56%。男性项目主任更有可能成为副教授（p = 0.041），而女性更有可能成为助理教授（p = 0.021）。66% 的女性项目主管是非西班牙裔白人。

结论

移植手术奖学金计划主要由男性和非西班牙裔白人外科医生领导。作为领导者的女性代表与其在移植手术劳动力中的成员资格相当。在项目主任职位中，男性和女性少数族裔都存在不足。
