重要性女性在学术神经学中的代表性不足，其原因尚不清楚。目的通过比较每个学术教职员工的男性和女性数量以及每个小组发表的论文数量，来探索顶级学术神经病学项目中潜在的性别差异。设计、设置和参与者将2016或2017年Doximity Residence Navigator工具列出的前20个项目与美国新闻和世界报告最佳研究生院排名前20的项目相结合，确定了29个排名最高的神经学项目。在2015年12月1日至2016年4月30日期间对该部网站进行了互联网搜索。对于项目网站上的每个教员，获得了以下传记信息：名字、姓氏、学术机构、性别、学术教职级别、教育领导(办事员、研究员或住院主任/助理主任)和医学院毕业年份。主要结果和衡量标准是比较男性和女性在每个学术教职级别的分布和男性和女性的出版物数量。二次分析包括Scope us h指数、书籍作者、教育领导力(办事员、住院医生或研究员主任/助理主任)，以及从医学院毕业后对照多年后通过医疗保险申领数据推断的临床活动。结果在我们的样本中，1712名学术神经科医生中，528名(30.8%)为女性，1184名(69.2%)为男性(P
IMPORTANCE Women are underrepresented in academic neurology, and the reasons for the underrepresentation are unclear.OBJECTIVE To explore potential sex differences in top-ranked academic neurology programs by comparing the number of men and women at each academic faculty rank and how many articles each group has published.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Twenty-nine top-ranked neurology programs were identified by combining the top 20 programs listed on either the 2016 or 2017 Doximity Residency Navigator tool with the top 20 programs listed in the US News and World Report ranking of Best Graduate Schools. An internet search of the departmental websites was performed between December 1,2015, and April 30, 2016. For each faculty member on a program site, the following biographical information was obtained: first name, last name, academic institution, sex, academic faculty rank, educational leadership (clerkship, fellowship, or residency director/assistant director), and year of medical school graduation.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES To compare the distribution of men vs women and the number of publications for men vs women at each academic faculty rank. Secondary analyses included Scopus h-index, book authorship, educational leadership (clerkship, residency, or fellowship director/assistant director), and clinical activity as inferred through Medicare claims data in men vs women after controlling for years since medical school graduation.RESULTS Of 1712 academic neurologists in our sample, 528 (30.8%) were women and 1184 (69.2%) were men (P
