Abstract

Rational and objective

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and representation in various sectors have garnered increasing attention in the past two decades, including healthcare. In this report we investigate representation of females and underrepresented minorities (URM) in the field of radiology and asses for significant growth trends in representation in residency training programs in the United States.

Materials and methods

De-identified trainee demographic information for active radiology trainees from 2016 to 2021 was queried using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and new radiology trainees using the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP)’s Main Residency Match Data and Reports databooks.

Results

In 2021 females represented 26.7% of DR residency trainees and 22% of IR integrated trainees. In the same year URM trainees represented 11.3% of trainees and 8.7% of IR integrated trainees. From 2017 to 2021, diagnostic radiology had a compound average growth rate (CAGR) 1% (p <0.01) of female representation and 1.12% (p<0.01) of URM representation.

Conclusion

This study quantifies female and underrepresented minority representation among radiology trainees for diagnostic radiology and radiology subspecialities, identifying modest uptrends in representation within both demographics.

放射科中女性和代表性不足的少数族裔的代表性。

合理而客观：过去二十年来，包括医疗保健在内的各行各业的多样性、公平性、包容性和代表性日益受到关注。在本报告中，我们调查了女性和代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）在放射学领域的代表性，并评估了美国住院医师培训项目中代表性的显著增长趋势：通过毕业后医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）查询了2016年至2021年在职放射学受训人员的去身份化受训人员人口统计学信息，并通过国家住院医师匹配计划（NRMP）的主要住院医师匹配数据和报告数据库查询了新的放射学受训人员：2021 年，女性占放射科住院医师培训学员的 26.7%，占放射科综合培训学员的 22%。同年，URM受训人员占11.3%，IR综合受训人员占8.7%。从 2017 年到 2021 年，放射诊断学的复合平均增长率（CAGR）为 1%（p 结论）：本研究量化了放射诊断学和放射学亚专科中女性和代表人数不足的少数族裔受训人员的代表情况，确定了这两个人口统计中代表人数的适度上升趋势。

期刊介绍： Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology covers important and controversial topics in radiology. Each issue presents important viewpoints from leading radiologists. High-quality reproductions of radiographs, CT scans, MR images, and sonograms clearly depict what is being described in each article. Also included are valuable updates relevant to other areas of practice, such as medical-legal issues or archiving systems. With new multi-topic format and image-intensive style, Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology offers an outstanding, time-saving investigation into current topics most relevant to radiologists.
