Trends in Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Diversity in Orthopaedic Surgery Sports Medicine Fellowships From 2007 to 2024
Our study reveals a significant increase in female and Hispanic representation among orthopaedic sports medicine fellows from 2007 to 2024, but no other racial or ethnic groups showed significant change. The disparities identified in our study suggest that systemic interventions throughout the orthopaedic education pipeline may be necessary to improve sports medicine fellowship diversity.
