    STUDY OBJECTIVE: We sought to summarize the last 20 years of published research on gender experience and disparities in the emergency medicine workforce. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review by searching MEDLINE ALL, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus from 2003 to 2024, to identify original research investigating gender experience and disparities among physicians in emergency medicine in North America. We abstracted study design, sample characteristics, and outcomes. We analyzed data using an ad hoc iterative thematic analysis of the content areas as well as a synthesis of the key findings and research limitations. RESULTS: We identified 5,740 candidate publications and, after exclusions, included 191 (99% observational studies). We identified 15 themes: (1) workforce, (2) childbearing, (3) attrition, (4) evaluations, (5) bias and discrimination, (6) wellness, (7) professional development groups and mentorship, (8) authorship, (9) editorial board membership, (10) research grants, (11) national speakers, (12) awards, (13) leadership roles, (14) academic rank and promotion, (15) financial compensation and one subtheme (pediatric emergency medicine). We mapped these themes to 5 domains: (1) Recruitment and Retention, (2) Culture and Environment, (3) Academic Scholarship, (4) Recognition and Promotion, and (5) Clinical Care and Decisionmaking. There were 3 to 33 publications per theme. The quality of evidence was variable. We found fewer disparities, and improvement over time in the percentage of women academic faculty, women authorship, national speaking, and educational awards. We found consistent evidence of gender disparities disadvantaging women emergency physicians in financial compensation, editorial board membership, executive leadership roles, academic rank, and experiences of gender bias, with little change over time. CONCLUSION: Although some areas remain understudied, our central findings confirm that gender-based disparities continue to exist among emergency physicians. Future efforts should be redirected toward the development and assessment of interventions that combat these disparities.

    OBJECTIVES: To address gender disparities in career advancement in academic emergency medicine, we sought to identify specific and actionable approaches that an academic department could develop or enhance to create a sustainable pathway for advancement of women in academic and leadership roles. METHODS: This project took place in an urban academic department of emergency medicine and included 3 phases: (1) a literature review to assess the current landscape, (2) interviews with key informants, and (3) a consensus process to organize and prioritize strategies. RESULTS: Our literature review identified 55 manuscripts and key themes of mentorship, training, grant success, data and benchmarks, recognition, and institutional policies. Across 20 interviews with internal and external faculty members, themes that emerged were programs and training, barriers, facilitators, mentorship, and individual and system components. During our consensus review, potential strategies were organized by relative feasibility and importance. Ultimately, strategies for building standardized systems were prioritized for their achievability based on available resources and alignment with department priorities and policy. CONCLUSION: There are several strategic options that academic departments may pursue to address gender equity challenges. This includes building standardized systems to support equitable advancement of all faculty members across domains, including salary, support, and opportunities. Standardized approaches ensure that departments not only promote gender equity but also facilitate the professional growth and promotion of all faculty members.
