Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates diversity trends among applicants and residents in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) over a 6-year period, highlighting ongoing disparities despite gradual increases in women's representation in medicine.
- Women comprised 36%-39% of PM&R residents, significantly lower than their 47%-48% representation in non-PM&R specialties, with PM&R having the fourth lowest percentage of women applicants at 34.4%.
- The analysis also reveals that Black or African American and Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish Origin populations are underrepresented in PM&R, accounting for only 6% of residents each compared to higher proportions in other specialties.
