Abstract
Precedents and aim

The awards for the excellence of the Official College of Physicians of Barcelona (COMB) were instituted in 2004 to recognize the excellence of the professional exercise. The winners are yearly chosen by juries appointed by the board of government, whose members propose for the award doctors who, in their opinion, have an exemplary professional and human behavior.

Subjects and methods

The number of male and female doctors who have obtained this recognition has been analyzed in relation with the sex distribution in the juries. Likewise it has been compared the ratios men-to-women of those who have been rewarded and this ratio among physicians of more than 45 years.

Results

Between the awarded physicians the ratio men-to-women was of 2.7/1 (range, from 1.2/1 for awardees in primary care to 6/1 in research). The men-to-women ratio among those who were awarded was in parallel to the man-to-women ratios of the juries. The ratio between men and women among members of the COMB of more than 45 years was 1.4/1, whereas in those who were awarded it was of 2.7/1. The increase in the proportion of women in the juries in the last four years has been followed by an increase in the number of female physicians awarded.

Conclusion

This data demonstrate that the predominance of male doctors among those who were awarded does not depend so much on the age factor, but basically on the proportion of male and female doctors in the juries.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

Los premios a la excelencia del Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Barcelona (COMB) fueron instituidos en 2004 para reconocer la excelencia en el ejercicio profesional. Los premiados son elegidos anualmente por jurados nombrados por la junta de gobierno, cuyos miembros proponen médicos que en su opinión tienen un comportamiento profesional y humano ejemplar.

Sujetos y métodos

Hemos analizado el número de médicos y médicas que han obtenido este reconocimiento y la relación entre el número de varones y mujeres premiados con la distribución por géneros en los jurados. Asimismo se han comparado las edades de médicos y médicas premiados y la de colegiados y colegiadas de más de 45 años.

Resultados

La relación de varones y mujeres entre los premiados fue de 2,7/1 (rango: 1,2/1 para los premiados en Atención Primaria y 6/1 en el apartado Investigación), con una correlación directa no estadísticamente significativa entre la relación varones/mujeres premiados y jurados. La relación entre varones y mujeres colegiados con más de 45 años fue de 1,4/1, mientras que en los premiados fue de 2,7/1. En los últimos 4 años ha incrementado la proporción de mujeres en los jurados y de forma paralela ha aumentado el número de médicas premiadas.

Conclusión

El predomino de varones entre los premiados parece relacionarse con la mayor proporción de varones en la composición de los jurados.
