Survey on barriers faced by minority anesthesiologists

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to survey members of the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) who identify as minorities to explore systemic barriers that may hinder their advancement into leadership roles. The study will utilize a survey distributed via SurveyMonkey, with an option for participants to engage in follow-up interviews through phone or Zoom. The investigators hypothesize that structural issues, such as the absence of formal mentoring programs, contribute to the underrepresentation of minorities in leadership positions within the ASA. The survey results will help identify trends and barriers faced by these individuals in their professional journeys.
