520 _aCONCLUSIONS: There is a paucity of available research on demographic and leadership characteristics in academic orthopedic shoulder and elbow. Shoulder and elbow DC had average h-index of 18.9 and 20% trained at one fellowship. There also opportunities for increased gender/racial/ethnic diversity among the leadership of shoulder and elbow divisions. Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier Inc.
520 _aINTRODUCTION: Division Chiefs (DCs) and department leadership play an integral role within the service, and in the department as a whole. The goal of this study was to assess the demographics and academic characteristics of the leadership in orthopedic shoulder and elbow services across academic centers in the United States and comment on the diversity within these leadership positions.
520 _aMETHODS: Academic medical centers were identified using the FRIEDA database. DCs were identified using the hospitals' respective websites where data such as sex, race/ethnicity, academic rank, fellowship institution, and time since graduating fellowship. Scopus database was used to determine individual h-indices.
520 _aRESULTS: Of 198 academic programs identified, 49 were found to have a DC of the orthopedic shoulder and elbow division. An additional 26 programs were noted to have a shoulder and elbow division, but were not found to have a DC of the division. These DCs were mostly White (n=43, 87.8%), with only 6 identified DCs with a different ethnicity. Forty-five of the DCs (91.8%) were male and 4 were female (8.2%). The average time out of fellowship was 20.7 years and the average h-index was 18.9. More than 20% of the DCs trained at Columbia's Neer shoulder and elbow Fellowship. Six DCs were current or past president of ASES and 5 DCs completed the ASES traveling fellowship.
