      Leaders.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Gender inequities are documented in academic medicine. Within General 
      Internal Medicine (GIM), there are fewer female division directors and first and 
      last authors on publications. With gender parity in US medical school graduates 
      and with Academic Hospital (AH) medicine being a relatively newer discipline, one 
      might postulate that AH would have less gender inequity. DESIGN: A national 
      survey of AH programs was developed via literature review and expert 
      recommendations. Domains included program and faculty information. Gender of the 
      leader was determined via website or telephone call. PARTICIPANTS: Leaders of AH 
      programs associated with the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC). 
      Programs without a primary teaching hospital or hospitalist program and those not 
      staffed by university-affiliated physicians were excluded. MAIN MEASURES: 
      Description and characteristics of leaders and programs including a multivariable 
      analysis of gender of hospitalist leaders and the portion of female faculty. KEY 
      RESULTS: 59% response rate (80 of 135); there were no differences between 
      responders/non-responders in NIH funding (p = 0.12), type of institution 
      (p = 0.09), geographic region (p = 0.15), or year established (p = 0.86). 
      Reported number of female and male faculty were approximately equal. 80% of 
      hospitalist leaders were male; 37% of male hospitalist leaders were professors, 
      no female leaders were professors. In univariate and multivariate analysis only 
      the number of hospitals staffed was a significant predictor of having a female 
      hospitalist leader. There were no significant predictors of having fewer female 
      faculty. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated gender inequality in academic 
      hospital medicine regarding leadership and rank. Though there was equal gender 
      distribution of faculty, among leaders most were men and all "full professors" 
      were men. As diversity benefits the tripartite mission research on methods, 
      initiatives and programs that achieve gender equity in leadership are needed.
