An Open Letter to ASA and AUA Members – October 2024
Sexual Harassment in Academic Medicine: A Pervasive Issue Across All Medical Specialties

We read with interest the AAMC's "State of Women in Academic Medicine 2023-2024" report,1 highlighting significant progress and ongoing challenges in gender equity within academic medicine. Key findings in anesthesiology include the following:

  • Increase proportion of women chairs of academic anesthesiology departments from 13% in 2004 to 18% in 2024.
  • Narrow (but present) compensation gap between men and women in our specialty, with women making $0.94 on the dollar compared to men
  • Persistent presence of gender harassment within anesthesiology, with 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men experiencing a form of sexual harassment in the past 12 months.
