Abstract in brief

  • The study shows that there has been some progress in increasing the percentage of women in radiology faculty positions from 2010 to 2019, especially at more senior levels, but the overall proportion of female department chairs remains relatively low.
  • While the number of women applying for radiology residencies has remained fairly steady over the decade, the most significant change was during the transition from medical school to residency, indicating a potential bottleneck early in the pipeline.
  • The data also reveals that Black or African American faculty members are underrepresented across all academic levels, with only 5% being department chairs in 2019, indicating a need for greater diversity and inclusion efforts in radiology.]

Examining % change among faculty levels: Obvious trend observed is for #Asian Male category which trends to decrease from Instructor to Professor and Chair, while all other race seems to increase (White) or remain same (other categories) https://t.co/dFyC5Nrfnt 4/ https://t.co/ZF1czRgiRf
