摘要

Objective: To assess the gender composition of the American Board of Medical Specialties' (ABMS) member boards and evaluate the equitable inclusion of women and a subset of women physicians.Methods: The gender of individuals on 24 boards as of March 1, 2022, was assessed. Two benchmarks-parity (50:50 representation) and equity (compared to the proportion of practicing physicians in each medical specialty)-were utilized to determine if women are equitably represented on medical boards.Results: Four hundred forty individuals hold 449 total positions on the boards examined. Of board the members, 60.7 (267/440) are men, and 92.3 (406/440) are physicians. Physician board members comprised more men (64.0, 260/406; p < 0.001), whereas more women comprise the 34 nonphysician board members (79.4, 27/34; p < 0.001). Using specialty representation (equity) as the benchmark, of 22 specialties for which physician gender/sex data are available, women physicians are underrepresented on 36.4 (8/22) of boards. When parity (50) is the comparator, 72.0 (18/25) of boards comprised less than 50 women. Compared to a 2016 analysis, the proportion of women overall (including non-physicians) increased on 68.0 (17/25), decreased on 24.0 (6/25), and remained unchanged on 8.0 (2/25) of boards in 2022.Conclusions: This study reveals mixed results in the equitable inclusion of women on ABMS boards. Our findings suggest that progress should not be assumed and that it may be subject to setbacks when it occurs. There is a need to continue to monitor the equitable inclusion of women on ABMS boards.
