- The study aimed to assess diversity in neurosurgery residents using statistical models, specifically Simpson's Diversity Index and Sullivan's Composite Diversity Index (CDI), in light of the overall lack of diversity within this field compared to other medical disciplines.
- A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on neurosurgery residents and first-year medical students, gathering data on gender and other diversity attributes from institutional websites over a six-month period.
- Results showed that the diversity index for neurosurgery residents (CDI of 0.21) was significantly lower than that of medical students (CDI of 0.42), with no notable difference in diversity between top-ranked and lower-ranked neurosurgery programs or medical schools.
