Speaker Gender Representation for Anesthesiology Grand Rounds at a Large Academic Medical Center.
Invited speakerships, such as speaking at grand rounds, are part of the pathway to promotion in academic medicine. This project sought to evaluate if the gender of invited grand rounds speakers at a major academic institution were distributed as expected based on the specialty workforce. ⋯ The percentage of women invited to be grand rounds speakers did not increase over the study period. Intentional measures should be instituted to increase the proportion of women grand rounds speakers.
