Evaluating equity, diversity, and inclusion in Canadian Postgraduate Medical Education: A cross-sectional analysis of online content.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medical graduates applying to Residency through the Canadian Resident Matching System (CaRMS) utilize the internet to gather information on programs and their overarching Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) Office. This study aims to evaluate how PGME websites across Canada convey their commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through their website features.

Methods

Cross-sectional analysis of the 17 Canadian PGME websites against 20 EDI criteria based on contemporary literature, across five domains: leadership and governance, recruitment, accommodations, community engagement, and pathways to entry. Non-parametric testing was conducted to explore the relationship between EDI performance and municipal population diversity and geographic region.
