But white men are more likely than just about every other group to be promoted to the upper ranks. Researchers analyzed data from more than 673,500 graduates between 1979 and 2019, along with faculty appointment data since 2000. They found that racial and gender disparities in appointments from before Y2K persisted in the two decades after. Black and Hispanic women consistently had the lowest likelihood of being promoted to associate or full professor. Some factors to keep in mind: STAT’s Usha Lee McFarling has already reported on the problems caused by lumping so many people under one broad “Asian American” category. And, while the study found that Black men were more likely than white men to be named department chair, that doesn’t negate the fact that Black men are still highly underrepresented in medicine. In the study, white men made up more than half of all faculty who ever held the position of associate professor.
