Transplant surgery is a predominantly male specialty with high burnout rates. There are currently limited data regarding how programs can attract a diverse applicant pool to the field of transplant surgery. This study evaluated the effect of an Organ Procurement Experience elective on preclinical medical students' perceptions of transplant surgery in a prospective, longitudinal study. Preclinical medical students were anonymously surveyed before and after attending a deceased donor organ procurement. Questions focused on the following themes: Personal Beliefs, Personal/Professional Life, Diversity, and Gender Equality. Responses were rated on a five‐point Likert scale. Ninety‐nine and 45 students completed pre/post‐procurement survey, respectively. Post‐procurement responses demonstrated increased education about the field (2.1/5 vs 3.89/5, P < 0.001) and perceptions of the personalities and collegiality between surgeons (3.06/5 vs 3.73/5, P = 0.005). Post‐procurement, women were less likely to feel that female transplant surgeons are treated differently (3.98/5 vs. 3.45/5, P < 0.017). Post‐procurement, 19% agreed that transplant surgeons have a high quality of life. One percent of respondents felt the current gender distribution in transplant surgery is satisfactory. The Organ Procurement Experience significantly improved preclinical students’ perceptions of the field. However, there remains a strong concern about quality of life and gender diversity within the field.

“…The so-called Generation Y can be identified by a strong willingness to perform, but also by the desire for autonomy and a well-adjusted work-life balance with a rising weight on leisure time [5]. The authorities of surgical societies have attempted to counteract this development with increased advertisement for surgical disciplines on both regional and nationwide levels [6].…”
