LAUSR

Key Points Question Compared with county demographic data, has representation among women and underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups in medicine (URM) within medical school faculty changed over time, and does it vary across institutions? Findings In this cross-sectional study of faculty from 144 US medical schools from 1990 to 2019, the median representation quotient for women increased from 0.42 to 0.80. The median representation quotient for URM increased from 0.16 to 0.24, but the trend was not significant, and variability across institutions was high. Meaning These findings suggest that representation of women in academic medicine increased over time, whereas URM experienced only modest increases in representeation with wide variability across institutions.
