In the field of biomedical research in the United States, the proportion of underrepresented minorities at full professor level remained consistently low, although demographic trainees become more diverse. underrepresented groups face a complex set of obstacles to achieving the status of faculty, including impostor syndrome, increased performance expectations, and patterns of exclusion. institutionalized racism and sexism has contributed to the barriers and the policies enshrined excluding minority representation.
These barriers may contribute to the feeling of belonging to decline, which could result in the retention of underrepresented minorities reduction. Although some universities have changed their hiring practices to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the applicant pool, these changes are not enough. Here we found the department invited seminar series can be used to provide participants with a scientific role models and increase the sense of belonging while agencies work towards a more inclusive policy.
In this study, we examined the demographics (gender and race) seminar speakers invited more than 5 years for the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Michigan. We also investigated the demographics of participants today and compare it with the demographics of speakers invited to measure if our trainees are being provided with a representation of themselves.
We found that the demographics of the invited speakers is skewed towards male Caucasians, and the demographics of our trainees are not represented. From these findings, we propose a change in the policy of the department to address how the speakers invited to the aim of increasing the diversity of speakers to better reflect the diversity of participants. To facilitate this process, we developed a set of suggestions and web-based resources that enable scientists, committees, and moderator to identify underserved group members. These resources can be easily adapted to other field or subfield to promote inclusion and diversity in the series of seminars, conferences and colloquia
Suggestions for Improving Invited Speaker Diversity To Reflect Trainee Diversity
This data is intended to audit dental science articles published in Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (IJBMS) for 9 years from 2007 to 2015 linked done using a web-based search. Data were analyzed for dental science topics, types of articles, international collaboration, funding sources, the number of authors and authorship trends. From a total of 18 data related to odontology, the original article (12), a review article (4) and short communications (2) contributes a major share. Regarding the relationship with the dental sciences, the maximum amount of data associated with oral pathology and microbiology (16) followed by oral medicine and radiology (7) and periodontics (7).
Among the data associated with odontology, oral cancer (3) and gingival and periodontal disease (3), followed by dental plaque and caries (2) and orthodontic tooth movement (2) forming the main attraction of the contributors. The largest amount of data related to odontology received from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad (4) and the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran (2) .the present data compared to the previous bibliometric studies conducted related to odontology
