Abstract Background Medical students may be influenced by perceived program culture and personal fit when applying to residency. Activity Medical students were given three iterations of a generic residency program description presented with gender-neutral, feminine, or masculine skewed language and were subsequently asked to assess their perception of gender diversity and fit within each program. Results Gendered language in program descriptions had a direct effect on all participants’ sense of gender diversity in programs. The feminine-skewed description was most favorably perceived, regardless of respondent gender. Conclusion These findings provide a starting point from which residency programs can consider the impact of gendered language on student recruitment and gender equity. |
