Status of Women in Academic Anesthesiology: A 10-Year Update.
Anesthesia and analgesia, 2019Co-Authors: Martha A Bissing, Robert J Mccarthy, Cynthia A. Wong, M. C. Stock, Elizabeth M. S. Lange, Wilmer F. Davila, Paloma ToledoAbstract:BACKGROUND Gender inequity is still prevalent in today's medical workforce. Previous studies have investigated the status of women in academic Anesthesiology. The objective of this study is to provide a current update on the status of women in academic Anesthesiology. We hypothesized that while the number of women in academic Anesthesiology has increased in the past 10 years, major gender disparities continue to persist, most notably in leadership roles. METHODS Medical student, resident, and faculty data were obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges. The number of women in Anesthesiology at the resident and faculty level, the distribution of faculty academic rank, and the number of women chairpersons were compared across the period from 2006 to 2016. The gender distribution of major Anesthesiology journal editorial boards and data on Anesthesiology research grant awards, among other leadership roles, were collected from websites and compared to data from 2005 and 2006. RESULTS The number (%) of women Anesthesiology residents/faculty has increased from 1570 (32%)/1783 (29%) in 2006 to 2145 (35%)/2945 (36%) in 2016 (P = .004 and P < .001, respectively). Since 2006, the odds that an Anesthesiology faculty member was a woman increased approximately 2% per year, with an estimated odds ratio of 1.02 (95% confidence interval, 1.014-1.025; P < .001). In 2015, the percentage of women Anesthesiology full professors (7.4%) was less than men full professors (17.3%) (difference, -9.9%; 95% confidence interval of the difference, -8.5% to -11.3%; P < .001). The percentage of women Anesthesiology department chairs remained unchanged from 2006 to 2016 (12.7% vs 14.0%) (P = .75). To date, neither Anesthesia & Analgesia nor Anesthesiology has had a woman Editor-in-Chief. The percentage of major research grant awards to women has increased significantly from 21.1% in 1997-2007 to 31.5% in 2007-2016 (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Gender disparities continue to exist at the upper levels of leadership in academic Anesthesiology, most importantly in the roles of full professor, department chair, and journal editors. However, there are some indications that women may be on the path to leadership parity, most notably, the growth of women in Anesthesiology residencies and faculty positions and increases in major research grants awarded to women.

The status of women in academic Anesthesiology: a progress report.
Anesthesia and analgesia, 2008Co-Authors: Cynthia A. Wong, M. C. StockAbstract:BACKGROUND: The number of women in medicine has increased steadily in the last half century. In this study, we reassessed the status of women in academic Anesthesiology departments in the United States in 2006. METHODS: Medical student, resident, and faculty rank gender data were obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Data regarding the make-up and gender of anesthesia subspecialty society leadership, the editorial boards of Anesthesia & Analgesia and Anesthesiology, the awardees of anesthesia research grants, American Board of Anesthesiology examiners, and department chairs were obtained from websites, organization management personnel, and the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology. Anesthesiology data were compared with composite data from medical school departments in other clinical specialties and to data from previous years, beginning in 1985. RESULTS: The percentage of medical school graduates, Anesthesiology residents, and Anesthesiology faculty members who are women has increased since 1985; however, the rate of increase in the percentage of women is significantly faster for medical school graduates compared with Anesthesiology residents (P < 0.001) and faculty (P < 0.05). The percentage of women Anesthesiology faculty members who were full professors in 2006 was 6.5% compared with 17.7% of men faculty (P < 0.001) and is not significantly different than in 1986 (P = 0.27). Fourteen percent of full Anesthesiology professors were women and this does not differ from all clinical specialties combined (15%). Women comprised 12.7% of academic Anesthesiology chairs and 10% of all medical school department chairs in 2006, significantly higher compared with 1993 (P < 0.05). Currently, 8% and 11% of editors and associate editors of Anesthesiology and Anesthesia & Analgesia are women, respectively. Eighteen percent of American Board of Anesthesiology oral board examiners in 2007 were women compared with 8% in 1985 (P < 0.05). The percentage of time in which women have served as Anesthesiology society leaders was significantly greater during 1997-2006 compared with 1987-1996 (P < 0.001). The proportion of competitive research grants awarded to women has not changed over several decades. CONCLUSIONS: The status of women in academic Anesthesiology in the first decade of the millennium has, by some measures, advanced compared with 20 yr ago. However, by other measures, there has been no change. The task ahead is to identify factors that discourage qualified women medical students, residents, and junior faculty members from pursuing careers in academic Anesthesiology and advancing in academic rank.

global health outreach during Anesthesiology residency in the united states a survey of interest barriers to participation and proposed solutions
Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2012Co-Authors: Maureen Mccunn, Rebecca M Speck, Insung Chung, Joshua H Atkins, Jesse Raiten, Lee A FleisherAbstract:Abstract Study Objective To assess the interest in and barriers to pursuing global health outreach (GHO) experiences for Anesthesiology residents in the United States. Design Survey instrument. Setting Academic department of Anesthesiology. Subjects Anesthesiology residents who were members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Measurements An online survey was administered to residents in Anesthesiology via the ASA membership database. Descriptive statistics, including means, frequencies, and percentages were calculated. Main Results 91% of participants indicated an interest in GHO, of whom fewer than half (44%) had done a GHO medical mission. Seventy-nine percent reported that GHO affected their current practice or education; 33% commented they were now less wasteful with supplies and resources. Permission from work or obtaining work coverage were the primary barriers for both those with and without previous GHO participation. Of all respondents, 78% agreed that the availability of a GHO residency track would influence their ranking of that program for training, and 71% would pursue a GHO fellowship if available. Conclusions Anesthesiology residents have an interest in residency and fellowship GHO programs. Formalization of GHO programs during training may reduce work-related barriers associated with GHO participation and broaden academic program recruitment.

The 31st Rovenstine Lecture. The changing horizons in Anesthesiology.
Anesthesiology, 1993Co-Authors: Nicholas M. GreeneAbstract:Modern Anesthesiology differs widely from what it was 40-50 years ago, not only because of what Anesthesiology now involves in the operating room, but also because Anesthesiology has expanded its horizons and activities above and beyond the provision of surgical anesthesia. These changes and the identity of modern Anesthesiology are, however, but poorly understood, if understood at all, by the majority of laity and physicians alike. Such lack of identity, especially in the minds of those at the policy- and decision-making level, can only endanger the vitality and future of Anesthesiology in an era of sweeping changes in health care-delivery systems. The problem of public identity of our specialty includes the historically correct, but, contemporaneously, all too often misleading name of our specialty

How Social Media Is Changing the Practice of Regional Anesthesiology
Current Anesthesiology Reports, 2017Co-Authors: Eric S Schwenk, Larry F. Chu, Rajnish K Gupta, Edward R MarianoAbstract:Purpose of reviewThis review summarizes the current applications of social media in regional Anesthesiology, describes ways that specific platforms may promote growth, and briefly discusses limitations and future directions.Recent findingsAlthough Facebook users outnumber Twitter users, the latter has been better studied in regional Anesthesiology and may have the advantages of speed and expansion of reach. Highly tweeted publications are more likely to be cited in the medical literature, and twitter-enhanced journal clubs facilitate communication regarding important articles with international colleagues. In both the USA and internationally, Twitter has been shown to enhance the Anesthesiology conference experience, changing communication amongst attendees and non-attendees. YouTube and podcasts are quickly finding a niche in regional Anesthesiology for just-in-time training and continuing professional development.SummarySocial media use is rapidly growing in regional Anesthesiology, and benefits include global interaction and knowledge translation within the specialty and with the general public.
