RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of program director (PD) gender on the proportion of female residents in urology residency programs. METHODS: Demographics for program faculty and current residents matched in the 2017-2022 cycles at United States' accredited urology residency programs were collected from institutional websites. Data verification was completed using the American Urological Association's (AUA) list of accredited programs and the programs' official social media channels. Proportion of female residents across cohorts was compared using two-tailed Student's t-tests. RESULTS: One hundred forty-three accredited programs were studied, and 6 were excluded for lack of data. Thirty (22%) of the 137 programs studied have female PDs. Of 1799 residents, 571 (32%) are women. There has been an upward trend in the proportion of females matched from 26% in 2018 to 30% in 2019, 33% in 2020, 32% in 2021, to 38% in 2022. When compared to programs with male PDs, those with female PDs had a significantly higher proportion of female residents (36.2% vs 28.8%, p = .02). CONCLUSION: Nearly one-quarter of urology residency PDs are female, and approximately one-third of current urology residents are women, a proportion that has been increasing. Programs with female PDs are more likely to match female residents, whether those programs with female leadership rank female applicants more favorably or female applicants rank those programs higher. Given the ongoing gender disparities in urology, these findings indicate notable benefit in supporting female urologists in academic leadership positions.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic-related changes and program-specific characteristics on the geographic diversity of the 2021 and 2022 urology match classes. METHODS: We gathered publicly available information to compare match outcomes in 2021 and 2022 to the previous 5 application cycles (2016-2020). Variables included residency program class size, program and resident AUA section, and program and resident medical school. Univariate comparisons were made with Fisher's t-tests. Odds ratios were calculated following multivariable analysis. RESULTS: Comparing the previous 5 application cycles to the 2 pandemic years individually and together showed no significant changes in home or in-section matches. However, when comparisons were stratified by small (1-2 residents) vs large (3+ residents) programs, a significant increase in at-home and in-section matches was observed for small programs in 2021. Large programs did not experience significant changes in match patterns. Multivariate analysis showed that small programs had significantly lower odds of matching applicants from home institutions and within AUA sections. Additionally, certain AUA sections demonstrated significantly increased likelihood of accepting in-section applicants. CONCLUSION: The changes from in-person to virtual application cycles during the pandemic particularly affected small residency programs in 2021. With easing restrictions and logistical improvements in the 2022 cycle, locoregional match rates partially shifted back to prepandemic patterns, though not completely. Although the pandemic did not affect geographic diversity in urology as much as in other surgical subspecialties, these findings and further study should be considered to optimize upcoming cycles.
