摘要
PurposeTo describe gender diversity and research productivity among medical education boards.MethodsWe examined gender, training status, and research productivity of board members of Journal Citation Reports-listed medical education journals and affiliated professional societies. We determined gender using gendered pronouns and-if unavailable-software. We evaluated differences using chi 2 and t-tests.ResultsOverall, half of board members but 44% of editors-in-chief and 20% of society leaders were female. Female-led journals and societies had higher female representation than their non-female-led counterparts; trainee board members were more likely to be female.ConclusionsGender disparities exist among executives on journal and affiliated professional society boards in medical education.
