美国的放射肿瘤学劳动力相对于美国人口和美国医学院毕业生的多样性较小。劳动力多样性与更高质量的护理和结果相关。本研究的目的是确定美国放射肿瘤学会（ASTRO）的学生成员是否比使用最近建立的医学生会员类别的培训中的居民会员更加多样化。从ASTRO成员数据库中收集了所有医学生（n = 268）和培训成员（n = 713）的自我报告的性别、种族和西班牙裔种族、医学院和学位。国际成员被排除在外。使用χ2检验评估亚组之间的差异。与受训会员相比，学生会员更有可能是女性（40.0% vs 31.5%，P = .032），黑人或非裔美国人（10.7%对4.8%，P = 0.009），DO而不是MD学位的候选人或持有者（5.2%比1.5%，P = .002），来自美国医学院，不属于放射肿瘤住院医师计划（30.5%比20.9%，P = .001）。自我报告的西班牙裔种族没有显著差异（7.3% vs 5.4%，P = 0.356）。两个类别中都没有土著成员接受评估。ASTRO的医学生成员在黑人种族，女性性别和整骨训练方面更加多样化，尽管不是在西班牙裔种族或非多种族土著背景方面，比训练中的成员。与这些学生的纵向接触和评估导致专业保留与流失的因素可能会增加放射肿瘤学的多样性，公平性和包容性。
The radiation oncology workforce in the United States is comparatively less diverse than the U.S. population and U.S. medical school graduates. Workforce diversity correlates with higher quality care and outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether student members of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) are any more diverse than resident members-in-training using the recently established medical student membership category. Self-reported sex, race and Hispanic ethnicity, medical school, and degree(s) earned for all medical students (n = 268) and members-in-training (n = 713) were collected from the ASTRO membership database. International members were excluded. The χ2 test was used to assess for differences between subgroups. Compared with members-in-training, student members were more likely to be female (40.0% vs 31.5%, P = .032), black or African American (10.7% vs 4.8%, P = .009), candidates for or holders of a DO rather than MD degree (5.2% vs 1.5%, P = .002), and from a U.S. medical school that is not affiliated with a radiation oncology residency program (30.5% vs 20.9%, P = .001). There was no significant difference in self-reported Hispanic ethnicity (7.3% vs 5.4%, P = .356). There were no indigenous members in either category assessed. Medical student members of ASTRO are more diverse in terms of black race, female sex, and osteopathic training, though not in terms of Hispanic ethnicity or nonmultiracial indigenous background, than the members-in-training. Longitudinal engagement with these students and assessment of the factors leading to specialty retention versus attrition may increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in radiation oncology.
