Introduction: Orthopaedic surgery has the greatest degree of gender disparity among all medical specialties, presenting a little-explored opportunity to recruit women into orthopaedics early in the pipeline, particularly as undergraduate students. This study aimed to characterize the opinions of female premedical students regarding orthopaedic surgery as well as to assess the effectiveness of a virtual intervention in increasing interest in or improving attitudes toward the field.
Methods: In this prospective study, recruitment emails were sent to premedical advisors, who then circulated a survey that solicited responses from female-identifying premedical students.
There is a persistent underrepresentation of women and multiple ethnic minority groups among medical school and residency applicants and trainees, particularly in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R). There is limited information on what causes these demographic disparities in PM&R and on strategies to increase interest in the field. To address this gap and improve early recruitment efforts, the authors conducted the first-ever national survey to gather information on pre-medical students' perceived barriers to medical school admissions, career interests, perceptions of PM&R, and strategies to increase interest in PM&R.
