SEA Supporting Statement Regarding ASA/AUA Statement on Sexual Harassment in Academic Medicine (October 7, 2024)

We were astonished by the findings in the AAMC's "State of Women in Academic Medicine 2023-2024" report, that put forward the progress and persistent challenges in gender equity, particularly in our specialty. We commend our national societies who support women leaders in succeeding in their academic trajectory. The AAMC report shows the increase in the percentage of women chairs in academic anesthesiology departments from 13% in 2004 to 18% in 2024. We also recognize the narrowing of the compensation gap with women earning $0.94 for every dollar earned by their male colleagues. However, neither of these accomplishments are sufficient, and we must strive to break the “glass ceiling” and support gender equity at all levels.

SEA Statement on EDUCATE Act 

The Society for Education in Anesthesia (SEA) values scholarship and an inclusive community in medicine. As educators we understand that the foundation of a diverse and inclusive physician care team starts in medical school. A diverse workforce has been shown to “lead to higher-quality work, better decision-making, greater team satisfaction, and more equality.”^{1, 2, 3} All individuals, if they so desire, should have an equitable opportunity to become a physician educator and be part of a diverse workforce. The Embracing Anti – Discrimination, Unbiased Curriculum, and Advancing Truth in Education (EDUCATE) Act, H.R. 7725, violates the values of SEA. SEA strongly opposes the EDUCATE Act and continues to strive for inclusion and diversity in medicine.
