Women in ortho per country
Heatmap
The need for women in ortho associations is real. Orthopaedics remains one of the least diverse medical specialties in the world. Our collective work shows in this map the most current numbers of women in orthopaedics throughout the globe. While some regions certainly have better representation than others there is no country with women composing 30% of orthopaedic surgeons. This is significant as 30% has been determined to be the threshold needed to disrupt bias. At 30% of the population the critical mass has been reached so that the underrepresented population becomes incorporated and represented in the institutional culture - this is key to the success of the underrepresented group. Numerous studies have shown that female surgeons help provide culturally competent care and can help address healthcare disparities. ncreasing women in orthopaedics to over 30% benefits everyone.
