title: Gender disparities in leadership and scholarly productivity of academic hospitalists.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Gender disparities still exist for women in academic medicine but may be less evident in younger cohorts. Hospital medicine is a new field, and the majority of hospitalists are <41 years of age.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine whether gender disparities exist in leadership and scholarly productivity for academic hospitalists and to compare the findings to academic general internists.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective and retrospective observational study.
  
  
  METHODS
  University programs in the United States.
  
  
  METHODS
  Gender distribution of (1) academic hospitalists and general internists, (2) division or section heads for both specialties, (3) speakers at the 2 major national meetings of the 2 specialties, and (4) first and last authors of articles from the specialties' 2 major journals
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found equal gender representation of hospitalists and general internists who worked in university hospitals. Divisions or sections of hospital medicine and general internal medicine were led by women at 11/69 (16%) and 28/80 (35%) of university hospitals, respectively (P = 0.008). Women hospitalists and general internists were listed as speakers on 146/557 (26%) and 291/580 (50%) of the presentations at national meetings, respectively (P < 0.0001), first authors on 153/464 (33%) and 423/895 (47%) publications, respectively (P < 0.0001), and senior authors on 63/305 (21%) and 265/769 (34%) articles, respectively (P < 0.0001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite hospital medicine being a newer field, gender disparities exist in leadership and scholarly productivity.
