BACKGROUND: Women and people of color are often underrepresented in medicine. This study examined the inclusivity and diversity of the recent history of the Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons (CATS) in both its executive committees and invited participation at its annual meeting.
METHODS: CATS internal records and previous programs of CATS annual meetings were reviewed from 1997 to 2020. Leadership positions, invited speakers, and award recipients were categorized by sex and race.
RESULTS: Of 199 CATS members in 2020, 93 (47%) were White men, 64 (32%) were men of color, 24 (12%) were White women, and 18 (9%) were women of color. The majority of CATS presidents (86%), committee chairs (57%), named lecturers (88%), other invited speakers (67%), and major award winners (90%) were White men. Women and people of color were underrepresented. The Resident Research Award was the most diverse: of 23 awards, 10 (44%) have been to men of color, 6 (26%) to White men, 4 (15%) to women of color, and 2 (8%) to White women.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a need for more representation and inclusion of both women and people of color at multiple levels in CATS. This includes opportunities for improvement in the make-up of its executive committees, the speakers at its annual conference, and the recipients of its awards. CATS has established an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force to address this critical issue.
