ABSTRACT
Despite the growing number of women entering medical school, female representation among orthopedic surgery is the lowest compared with all areas of medicine. In 2014, 47.7% of students entering medical school were women, but only 13.7% of orthopedic residents were women. Pediatric orthopedics have been successful in enrolling women compared with other orthopedic subspecialties. This is an investigation of female representation among the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America membership roster, providing insight into the effect on the increased gender diversity in the membership of an organization and its correlation with leadership positions at different levels within the organization.
