Abstract Introduction The underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minority groups has existed and been well documented in general and plastic surgery literature but has not been described in burn surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate current minority group representation among burn surgery leadership. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in January 2019 to evaluate minority group representation among burn surgery leadership. Burn surgeons included were directors of American Burn Association (ABA)-verified burn centers in the US, past and current presidents of the ABA and International Society of Burn Injuries (ISBI), and editorial board members of five major burn journals (Journal of Burn Care & Research, Burns, Burns & Trauma, Annals of Burns & Fire Disasters, and the International Journal of Burns and Trauma). Surgeons were compared based on factors including age, gender, training, academic rank, and h-index. Results Among 71 burn center directors, 68 societal presidents, and 197 journal editors, minority ethnic groups represented 18.3, 7.4, and 34.5 percent, respectively. Among US burn center directors, the group classified collectively as non-white was significantly younger (white = 56 years, non-white = 49 years; p< 0.01), graduated more recently (white = 1996, non-white = 2003; p < 0.01), and had a lower h-index (white = 17.4, non-white = 9.5; p < 0.05) than white colleagues. There were no significant differences in gender, type of residency training, advanced degrees obtained, and fellowships completed between white and non-white groups.The were no significant differences in the likelihood of white and non-white directors in academia to be full professor, residency or fellowship director, or chair of the department.When compared to the 2018 US National Census, burn unit directors had a 5.1 percent decrease in non-white representation. Specifically, Asians had an 8.3 percent increase in representation, while there was a decrease in both Black (12.0%) and Hispanic (15.3%) representation. Conclusions Disparities in representation of ethnic and racial minorities exist in burn surgery leadership. The most extreme disparities were seen with Black and Hispanic surgeons. However, because these surgeons are younger and graduated more recently, it is promising that minority representation will continue to rise in the future. Applicability of Research to Practice Programs should be initiated in burn surgery that address the implicit biases of burn surgeons and increase mentorship opportunities for underrepresented minorities.
