The Impact of Sustained Outreach Efforts on Gender Diversity in Orthopaedic Surgery
The results of this study indicate that outreach and exposure efforts, such as those of The Perry Initiative, are having a substantive impact on gender diversity in orthopaedic surgery. With continued intervention, the field as a whole should approach a critical mass of women within a generation. The collective efforts of the orthopaedics community over the past decade to close the gender gap serve as a guidebook for other professions seeking to diversify.
