Popis: Objective: This study sought to determine the gender and racial distribution of grand rounds speakers in orthopaedics at large academic medical centers and to assess whether they align with the demographics of current faculty and trainees. Design: Schedules of grand rounds speakers and topics from the 2020–2021 academic year were collected from 49 orthopaedic surgery residency programs across the United States. Speakers were categorized by trainee status, academic rank, institutional affiliation, institutional National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding rank, gender, and underrepresented minority (URM) status. Descriptive statistics and two-way frequencies were performed. One-way tests of proportions were calculated comparing female and URM speaker proportions to demographic distributions of orthopaedic surgeons for residents, home program faculty, and visiting faculty at the national level. Results: Of the 890 grand rounds presentations, 121 were given by women (13.6%) and 47 by URMs (5.3%). One-way tests of proportions showed lower than expected proportions of women and URM home attending presentations (p
