| Abstract: | ObjectiveExamine changes in gender representation in the interventional radiology (IR) training pool since the advent of the integrated IR residency in 2015 to 2020.MethodsElectronic Residency Application Service and ACGME Data Resource Book records from 2015 to 2020 were reviewed for integrated IR residency and vascular and interventional radiology (VIR) fellowship applicant data and active IR resident and VIR fellow data, respectively. The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2018 registry data were reviewed for SIR membership data. Two-tailed Fisher’s exact tests and χ2 analyses were used to compare trainees between application cycles.ResultsIn the 2017 application cycle, 23% (247 of 1,062) of integrated IR residency applicants were female, with similar interest in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 cycles (χ23, n = 2,863] = 5.1, P = .17). In comparison, female VIR fellowship applicants were 12% from 2017 to 2020. Female integrated IR residents represented 13% to 18% of all integrated IR residents in the 2016 to 2020 academic years compared with the period before the integrated IR residency when female IR trainees represented 8% (23 of 275) of all IR trainees in 2015 to 2016 (P = .0002). Although in 2018, the total active SIR female membership was 9% (319 of 3,622), the female resident membership was 17% (131 of 793), and the female medical student membership was 25% (389 of 1,573).DiscussionWith the advent of the integrated IR residency, there is an increasing female constituency, at the medical student, IR applicant, and IR resident levels, with more than a doubling of female IR trainees, portending a continued reduction in the IR gender disparity in the future. |
