description To gain an understanding of the changing faces of leadership in surgery, we examined trends in the demographics, additional degrees pursued, and scientific publication characteristics of the past presidents of three major surgery organizations. We queried the BoardCertifiedDocs and Web of Science databases for the demographics, as well as the quantity and quality of publications, of the past presidents of the Association for Academic Surgery, Society of University Surgeons, and American College of Surgeons from 1970 to 2020. Data were analyzed by decade to identify any trends. We identified a total of 140 presidents from the organizations. The proportion of female presidents significantly increased from the 1990s to the 2010s (10% versus 33%, P

The percentage of presidents with additional degrees also increased from the 1970s to the 2010s (10.0% versus 48.8%, P = 0.039). During this same time period, the most common area of expertise of presidents shifted from cardiothoracic surgery to surgical oncology. The ratio of presidents’ postinduction to preinduction publications was significantly increased among all three organizations in the 2010s compared to the 1970s (P &lt; 0.05). Co-cluster analysis revealed a research topic change from the 1970s to the 2010s. The faces of surgical leadership have changed in terms of gender equality, racial diversity, surgical subspecialty, and additional degrees held. Such a transformation mirrors evolving diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and it further highlights the adaptability of surgical leadership to the ever-changing landscape of surgery.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0022-4804</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1095-8673</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2023.11.012</identifier><identifier>PMID: 38061239</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Elsevier Inc</publisher><subject>Academic surgeon ; Diversity ; Inclusion ; Leadership</subject><ispartof>The Journal of surgical research, 2024-03, Vol.295, p.340-349</ispartof><rights>2023 Elsevier Inc.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
