Women representation in academic and leadership positions in surgery in Brazil
Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
We aimed to analyze the representativeness of women surgeons in academic and leadership positions in Brazil. We investigated women representativeness across surgical departments of 25 Brazilian universities (2020); across boards of 10 Brazilian surgical societies (2020), and, as speakers, in 281 surgical events (Jan-2014 to Dec-2020). From 383 individuals in university departments, 43 (11.2 %) were women (p < 0.001). Only three universities had women as department chairs. From 163 positions in surgical societies, only 14 positions (8.6 %) were held by women (p < 0.001). The underrepresentation is worse in prestigious positions (presidency and vice-presidency), in which only 1 (5 %) were women. In 281 surgical events, there were 6686 speakers, of which only 886 (13.3 %) of these were women (p < 0.001). Further studies are needed to elucidate the possible causes for the gender gap in these scenarios in Brazil, so as to implement effective strategies to improve gender representativeness in surgery in the country.
