Discrepancies in Gender Representation Between Integrated and Independent Plastic Surgery Programs.

Purpose: Despite increasing female representation in integrated plastic surgery training programs, independent programs have lower representation and slow improvement in female enrollment. Self-reported resident data were used to investigate trends of female representation in integrated and independent programs.

Methods: Data were collected from Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education resources of active residents' characteristics.

Surgical Fellowships Demonstrate Variable Improvement in Gender Representation Despite Greater Female Enrollment in General Surgery Residencies.

Objective: Despite increasing female representation in General Surgery (GS) residency training programs, proportional improvement of female enrollment in surgical fellowships has yet to be quantified. We aimed to assess if female enrollment in surgical fellowships has improved at an equivalent rate in 7 different surgical fellowship options after GS.

Design And Setting: Data were collected from Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) resources which disclosed active resident and fellow characteristics.
