Introduction: Deviation of an individual outside of gender normative stereotypes can limit hiring and promotion. The application, interview, and ranking process for medical students pursuing a general surgery residency has multiple opportunities for gender bias to affect an applicant's acceptance. This study examines medical students applying for a top academic general surgery residency and potential bias in perceived gender roles.
Methods: 269 medical students were interviewed for categorical positions at an academic general surgery residency. Applicants described themselves in one word; adjectives were compiled and categorized as grindstone, ability, communal, or agentic traits. Groups were compared across applicant gender and race.
Results: 42% of applicants were women. When comparing gender, men applicants were more likely to use a grindstone/communal adjective (73.2% vs 57.1%, p = 0.006). Men applicants were less likely to identify with an agentic adjective (21% vs 35%).
Conclusions: Contrary to gender stereotypes, women general surgery residency applicants tend to self-identify using ability/agentic adjectives more than men applicants. Bias training is important to mitigate the negative consequences of perceived traditional gender role-violation.
