What are My Chances of Becoming a Professional Team Physician

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the underrepresentation of female and minority orthopedic surgeons in the field of sports medicine. The speaker presents various statistics to show the demographic gaps in both medical education and orthopedics, highlighting the leaky pipeline phenomenon. The representation of women and minorities in orthopedics remains low, and this has implications for patient care, as biases and inequalities persist. The lack of diversity among team physicians, particularly in sports leadership roles, is also discussed. The video emphasizes the importance of representation in rebuilding trust and improving patient-physician relationships. No credits were provided.
