“…They also found that female applicants might be less likely than males to be as friendly and deferent in their interactions with male authority figures. When compared to the general population, however, female applicants did not demonstrate evidence of difficulties with stress management 53 ( Table 5 ).…”

“…Gender discrimination and bias has been reported as a consistently and significant career deterrent reported by female medical students. 56 Female students pursuing a surgical career have experienced discrimination, 37 , 38 , 57 , 53 although this is not an isolated phenomenon for the specialty: female students interested in a career in orthopedic trauma, or male students interested in obstetrics had such experiences. 37 , 38 , 58 , 59 It is not clear if gender itself is a factor that affects the learning of fundamental surgical skills.…”

ObjectivesTo explore evidence concerning gender differences in teaching and learning in surgery to guide future initiatives.MethodsThis systematic review was conducted searching in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ERIC, Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed. All studies related to gender differences in surgical education, teaching or learning of surgery at an undergraduate level were included. Data was extracted and critically appraised. Gender differences in learning, teaching, skills acquisition, perceptions and attitudes, interest on surgery, personality and factors influencing interest in surgical careers were differentiated.ResultsThere is an underrepresentation of women in surgical academia, due to lack of role models and gender awareness. It is not clear whether or not gender itself is a factor that affects the learning of surgical tasks. Female students pursuing a surgical career had experienced sexual harassment and gender discrimination that can have an effect on the professional identity formation and specialty choice. There are differences in personality among female and male students interested in surgery. Gender is a determining factor to choose surgery, with a consistent lower proportion of women compared interested in pursuing a surgical career. Mentoring and personality fit are important in medical student’s specialty selection. Female students are more likely to be discouraged from pursuing a surgical career by a lack of female role models.ConclusionsBias against women in surgery still exists. There is a lack of studies that investigate the role of women in the teaching of surgery.

“…20 This is consistent with other dental specialties including oral surgery, prosthodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics that also have a mandatory interview prior to accepting applicants. [16][17][18][19][20]23 In addition to program directors valuing the interview, applicants also benefit from the interview process since candidates often choose programs based on subjective impressions from the interview day, along with their perceptions of an optimal work environment. 24 The interview is a critical component of the admissions process for pediatric dentistry residency programs.…”

Purpose With the increasing number of applicants and changes to information available in applications, pediatric dentistry program directors must adapt the resident selection process. The evaluation approach was significantly impacted when the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) changed to a pass/fail grading system. The purposes of this are study to examine what criteria pediatric dentistry program directors now use to select residents, and to evaluate current criteria against those used in the past. Methods A 30‐item survey was structured similar to a previous questionnaire used in 2005. An invitation to participate was sent via email to all pediatric dentistry program directors for the 82 Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA)‐accredited programs located in the United States and Canada. Anonymous responses were analyzed. Results There were 58 responses (70.7% response rate). The overall most important factors were clinical grades, dental school class rank, dental school grade point average (GPA), and applicant's essay. The least important factors were the applicant being a graduate of the program's dental school, Advanced Dental Admission Test (ADAT) score, and applicant's fluency in a second language. The factor that had the most significant increase in importance from 2005 is the applicant's essay, followed by dental school reputation and the dental school's pediatric program reputation. Conclusions The most important factors to program directors are clinical grades, dental school class rank, dental school GPA, and applicant's essay. The applicant's essay has increased in importance since 2005.

Background: Admission to an anesthesiology residency in the United States is competitive, and the odds associated with a successful match based on the applicants' characteristics have not been determined. The objective of this study was to examine factors associated with admission to anesthesiology residency in the United States. Methods: The study was a retrospective cohort evaluation of the 2010 to 2011 residency applicants. Applicants' characteristics and objective factors used to select trainees were extracted. The primary outcome was a successful match to an anesthesiology residency. Data were analyzed using conditional inference tree analysis and propensity score matching. Results: Data available from 1,976 applications were examined corresponding to 58% of the national sample. The odds (99% CI) for successful match were 3.6 (3.1-4.2) for U.S. medical school graduates, 2.6 (2.3 to 3.0) for applicants with United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 2 scores more than 210, and 1.2 (1.1 to 1.3) for female applicants. The odds (99% CI) for a successful match for international and U.S. graduate applicants younger than 29 yr was 3.3 (2.0-5.4) and (1.9 to 4.2), respectively, even after propensity matching for medical school, exam scores, and gender. The average applicant had no peer-reviewed scholarly productivity. Conclusion: Although anesthesiology residency acceptance was primarily associated with U.S. medical school attendance and United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 2 scores, our study suggest an influence of age and gender bias in the selection process. Peer-reviewed scholarly production among applicants and prior graduate education did not appear to influence candidate selection.
