Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To quantify the number of women presenters and their roles at national meetings across all orthopaedic sub-specialties. METHODS: A retrospective review of annual meeting programs for 2008 and 2017 from ten North American orthopaedic societies was conducted. RESULTS: A statistically significant increase was seen in the proportion of women presenting at society annual meetings between 2008 and 2017 (p < 0.0001). Women were more often authors presenting abstracts (p < 0.0001)) and less frequently faculty/instructors (p = 0.0051) and moderators/chairs (p = 0.0003) when compared to men. CONCLUSION: Men continue to hold a higher proportion of more respected roles within orthopaedic academia.
