Legendary Women in Dentistry: Racquel Z. LeGeros.

Racquel LeGeros' life demonstrates an inspirational phenomenon by which, through scholarly and academic production, one woman can have a dramatic effect shaping society. Although famous for her focus on biomaterials, ranging from bioceramics to calcium phosphates, her personal experiences likely shaped her work in public health, which took aim at oral health disparities. LeGeros left her home in Manila, Philippines and came to Manhattan at 18 years old to pursue her Master's degree at New York University. She served with great distinction NYU for over 50 years, rising to the rank of professor and associate chair of the Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics. Her life experience allowed her to improve conditions for others like her. Her roles in life, the oldest daughter of eight children, a mother and a wife, likely gave her the tools to mentor. Not only did teaching and mentorship within her laboratory research generate a pipeline of independent researchers carrying forward biomaterials research, development, and implementation, but it also exemplified inclusion of individuals from a variety of demographics around the world who, today as independent scientists, bring diverse perspectives to science. A thorough evaluation of her over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, tells a story that extends beyond the very important pioneering strides beyond materials development and public health dentistry. Her career arc amplifies the understanding of how scientific discovery translates to improve and upgrade society. LeGeros' progressive and comprehensive mindset is evident as she considered the implications of her science on larger problems facing society, dedicating her investigations to uncovering the causes and structures that reify healthcare inequity. Beyond clinical science, LeGeros applied research findings to improve health equity, social justice. Through her work and its impact on society, Dr. Racquel LeGeros is a remarkable figure.

Pharmacists as Health Care Providers: Where Are We Now?

The pharmacy profession is an outlier in the ranks of health care professionals because they are not considered health care providers under the rules of the Medicare program. Other professions, including physical and occupational therapists and dieticians can be directly reimbursed for their services-but not pharmacists. The author discusses the policy and advocacy work that ASCP has been undertaking on the 1135 waiver.

Characteristics of the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology Educator of the Year Award Recipients

The Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO) presents the Educator of the Year Award to outstanding faculty members at each participating institution every year. The aim of this study was to characterize the recipients of this award. The recipients of the annual ARRO Educator of the Year Award were identified from the years 2008 to 2019. Publicly available website domains were accessed to obtain data regarding clinical treatment site, number of sites treated, whether they were at the same institution where they trained, academic rank, sex, American Society for Radiation Oncology fellow status, repeat awardee status during the period, and number of years since board certification. H- and m-indices were obtained from Scopus and calculated based on the time of the award. General workforce data were obtained from American Society for Radiation Oncology and recently published articles. The authors performed correlative analyses stratified by sex and logistic regression to determine predictors of repeat awardee status. There were a total of 607 ARRO educator awards from the years 2008 to 2019. The majority of recipients were male (77.6%) and assistant professors (39.0%). The median number of years from board certification was 7 (interquartile range, 3-17) and the median h- and m-indices were 14 and 1, respectively. When stratified by sex, publication metrics were significantly higher for men (P < .05), and men were more likely to be repeat awardees (P < .001) and have higher academic rank (P=.007). On multivariate analysis, those of higher rank were more likely to be repeat awardees (associate odds ratio [OR], 3.55; P < .001; full professor OR, 2.04; P=.046) and less likely to be women (OR, 0.41; P=.002), and h- and m-indices were not associated with repeat awardee status. Recipients of the ARRO educator award appear to be diverse in rank and experience; however, associate professor rank and sex were associated with continued recognition of educational excellence.

Analysis of Trends in Demographic Distribution of Dental Workforce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Dental professionals are playing an imperative role in the healthcare system. It is important to distribute the dental workforce across the country. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the recent distribution of the dental workforce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and determining the current dentist-to-population ratio in the KSA. This is a cross-sectional study focused on the dental workforces working in the KSA between 2015 and 2020. Complete data of dentists working in the KSA with different professional ranks were obtained. The data were stratified by gender, professional rank (Saudi and non-Saudi), area of working (13 provinces in the KSA), and sector of working (public and private). A complete list of all dental universities was obtained to identify the increasing number of dental institutes at this current moment. In addition, the dentist-to-population ratio was also evaluated based on the current inhabitant in the KSA and the total dental surgeons. There are a total of 27181 dental surgeons and 8022 dental auxiliaries registered in different specialties as of 2020. Saudi citizens are holding the majority of the posts in both dentist and dental auxiliary categories. The percentage of males and female is slightly higher in dentists and dental auxiliaries, respectively. It also indicated that where most of the dental personnel work in the private sector, dental auxiliaries work in the public sector. Moreover, the highest number of dental workforces is identified in the Riyadh region among all the 13 provinces. Based on the databases, the current dentist-to-population ratio is 1 : 1288.16. In conclusion, the number of dental professionals is ample; however, rural areas lack specialists. Saudi dentists are progressively replacing foreign dentists in different professional ranks working in the KSA.

Why Research Matter?: An Evaluative Study of Research Productivity Performance of the Faculty Members of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines

This study evaluates the research capability of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) in realizing a Research University status through faculty productivity in research activities such as production, presentation, and publication. Using the data collected from Quarterly Accomplishment Report (QAR) submitted by the faculty members, the participation rate and compliance rate of the faculty in research activities were computed to measure their research productivity. Specifically, participation rate was used to determine the rate of engagement of faculty in research activities while compliance rate was utilized to identify if the faculty involvement in research was based on their required mimimum role in each research activity and their academic rank. The results show that the average participation rate of the faculty in the three research activities was below 26 percent wherein almost three-fourths (75%) of the faculty did not at all participate in any of the research activities. Among the three research activities, faculty were more engaged in research production. Accordingly, the average compliance rate of the faculty members in research in each of the research activities was no more than 20%. Specifically, faculty with ranks of Associate Professor and Professor were more involved in research activities than those with ranks of Instructor and Assistant Professor. Because of these results, the University’s interventions to enhance research productivity were crucial. These interventions include research capability programs, development of culture of research which may result in research collaborations and linkages, and policy creation considering research productivity as a factor of job promotion.

Insight into Faculty Open Access Perceptions: A Quantitative Analysis among UAE Faculty

Open access (OA) publishing presents university librarians, administrators, and faculty researchers with a paradox of both opportunities and challenges. For faculty researchers in particular, the decision of whether to pursue OA publication of their scholarship is driven by their perceptions of the credibility and quality of OA publishing. While there is a variety of extant literature broaching these perceptions, there are few quantitative analyses with an n greater than 100 respondents, and a notable lack of research in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study mitigates this gap in scholarship regarding OA publishing, offering a quantitative analysis of a survey sample of 134 UAE faculty researchers. We find statistically significant findings regarding the relationship between one’s position on OA and length of publishing career and professorial rank. Similarly, we find that those with favourable views of OA publishing are more likely to believe that OA journals are peer reviewed, increase likelihood of being cited, allow authors to repost content, and are a more principled alternative to traditional publishers. Those who believe that their research should be freely available to all readers or that OA publishing broadens their research impact were also highly likely to hold favourable views of OA publishing. Finally, our findings suggest that support for OA publishing at the departmental and institutional level remains ambiguous, with findings yielding contradicting results on the matter. The study contributes to content regarding scholarship, library science, and university administration.

Association between hospital legal constructions and medical disputes: A multi-center analysis of 130 tertiary hospitals in Hunan Province, China.

BackgroundMedical disputes are common in hospitals and a major challenge for the operations of medical institutions. However, few studies have looked into the association between medical disputes and hospital legal constructions. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between hospital legal constructions and medical disputes, and it also aimed to develop a nomogram to estimate the likelihood of medical disputes.MethodsBetween July and September 2021, 2,716 administrators from 130 hospitals were enrolled for analysis. The study collected seventeen variables for examination. To establish a nomogram, administrators were randomly split into a training group (n = 1,358) and a validation group (n = 1,358) with a 50:50 ratio. The nomogram was developed using data from participants in the training group, and it was validated in the validation group. The nomogram contained significant variables that were linked to medical disputes and were identified by multivariate analysis. The nomogram's predictive performance was assessed utilizing discriminative and calibrating ability. A web calculator was developed to be conducive to model utility.ResultsMedical disputes were observed in 41.53% (1,128/2,716) of participants. Five characteristics, including male gender, higher professional ranks, longer length of service, worse understanding of the hospital charters, and worse construction status of hospital rule of law, were significantly associated with more medical disputes based on the multivariate analysis. As a result, these variables were included in the nomogram development. The AUROC was 0.67 [95% confident interval (CI): 0.64–0.70] in the training group and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.66–0.71) in the validation group. The corresponding calibration slopes were 1.00 and 1.05, respectively, and intercepts were 0.00 and −0.06, respectively. Three risk groups were created among the participants: Those in the high-risk group experienced medical disputes 2.83 times more frequently than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.001).ConclusionMedical dispute is prevailing among hospital administrators, and it can be reduced by the effective constructions of hospital rule of law. This study proposes a novel nomogram to estimate the likelihood of medical disputes specifically among administrators in tertiary hospitals, and a web calculator can be available at https://ymgarden.shinyapps.io/Predictionofmedicaldisputes/.

The balance between status quo and change when minorities try to access top ranks: a tale about women achieving professorship

PurposeThis paper aims to study vertical gender segregation, which persists even in the fields where women are represented at junior levels. Academia is an example. Individual performance and lack of a critical mass do not fully explain the problem. Thus, this paper adopted an intergroup perspective (i.e. social identity and competition theories) to study how a majority (i.e. men) can influence the advancement of a minority (i.e. women).Design/methodology/approachThe paper investigated promotions from associate to full professor in Italy. The original data set included all promotions from 2013 to 2016. To study intergroup dynamics, individual-level variables were analysed together with structural factors, such as gender representation and availability of resources.FindingsThe effect of gender representation was significant in that promotions were more likely when full professor ranks within academic institutions were men-dominated and associate professor ranks were women-dominated. Concurrently, the analysis of individual-level variables supported the existence of discrimination against women. The paper argues that the majority grants more promotions under the pressure of change; however, this does not contrast with discrimination at the individual level.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper focused only on one country. However, the framework can be applied in other contexts and used to study segregation based on factors other than gender.Originality/valueThis study explored gender segregation from a new perspective, highlighting the importance of the interplay between individual and structural factors. This interplay might be one of the causes of the slow progress of gender equality.

The suitability of leadership positions for women from the point of view of teachers and students

The aim of the research is to identify the opinions of teachers and students at the University of Anbar to the extent to which leadership positions for women are appropriate from the point of view of the teachers and students. And follow the descriptive analytical approach, the research community consisted of all the teachers of the University of Anbar holding the title of professor and assistant professor, whose number is (652) of them (173). ) the rank of professor, and (479) the rank of assistant professor distributed among (20) colleges, and the students of Anbar University, whose number is (22719) students for the academic year 2020-2021, and the opinion was settled by taking 10% of the teaching staff, and 20% of the university faculties (ie 4 Universities, including two humanities faculties, which are Arts and Education for the Humanities, and two scientific faculties, science and engineering, and they were chosen at random) and from the fourth stage who are supervisors of graduation and more experienced than the rest of the stages and took 20%. Thus, the study sample consisted of (62) teachers, and (213) female students. And a female student, he used the questionnaire as a research tool for the purpose of identifying the responses of the sample and by (30) paragraphs, against a five-point scale for the degree of approval (very high, high, medium, weak, and very weak). The results of the research showed that all the spectra of the research sample had positive trends and acceptance of the role of women in the university and its compatibility with its nature, where the arithmetic averages all indicate higher than the hypothetical mean, and that the view of the teachers shares the view of the students in the importance and role of women in the leadership positions of women.

An examination of gender difference in advancement and salary for Marriage and Family Therapy faculty members working in public universities.

Evidence for inequitable advancement and salary disparity for women in academia is compelling, but only a marginal amount of research has explored this in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) specifically. Current research provides preliminary evidence that women remain underrepresented at the Full Professor rank and are paid less than men MFT faculty. This study collected publicly available data for MFT faculty in public universities to explore gender differences in advancement between ranks, salary disparity, and the representation of women and men in the highest and lowest paying niches of MFT academia. Results showed that, despite being 60.15% of MFTs in public universities, women were paid an average of $5596.25 less than men. Men were 1.40 times more likely than women to be promoted to Full Professor on time-within 13 years of their terminal degree. Implications for addressing inequitable advancement and salary disparity for women MFT faculty are discussed.
