“…It is not clear exactly how many anesthesiologists currently belong to this community, let alone how many are open about their identity at work or hold positions of influence. A suggestion can be derived from a recently published survey study of graduating allopathic medical students in the United States that found 5.2% of students intending to practice anesthesiology identified SGM [36]. There remains a negative culture in medicine toward the SGM population, physicians and patients alike.…”

Purpose of reviewAlthough recent census demonstrates that women comprise 50.8% and ethnic minority groups collectively consist of 42.1% of the US population, the field of anesthesiology still demonstrates disparity in representation and health outcomes across race, ethnicity, and gender. In addition, the growing percentage of people that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) compounded with limited representation among providers of their care can augment existing disparate outcomes within this community. Recent findingsCompared to male colleagues, women physicians across all specialties have a decreased likelihood of professorship as well as equitable pay and leadership roles. Additionally, a 2019 study of anesthesia residents across race and ethnicity within the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education established that whites were 58.9%, Asians were 24.7%, Hispanics were 7.8%, Blacks were 5.9%, multiracial groups were 3.8%, and Native Americans were 0.3% of the total 6272 residents. In a survey of members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, self-identification as part of the sexual and gender minoritycommunity was independently associated with an increased risk of burnout. Furthermore, teams with higher diversity in cognitive styles solve problems more efficiently.

“…Comparable data from the USA highlighted that the intended specialities with the highest and lowest percentage of LGBTQ+ graduates were psychiatry (11.6%) and orthopaedic surgery (1.8%), respectively, with percentage uptake further decreasing from medical to surgical specialities. This was primarily based on perceived inclusivity of the intended specialty 11…”

“…Trainees speak about the need for ‘mentors and role models from diverse backgrounds and communities’: this is a call for change toward inclusive leadership, visible LGBTQ+ role models, and proactive representation.

“…Orthopaedic surgery is often regarded as among the least diverse medical specialties. A recent analysis of the Association of American Medical Colleges graduating students survey showed that orthopaedic surgery was miles behind other specialties in LGBTQ representation 1 . As a gay man, I felt intimidated during the residency application process.…”
