This highlights the importance of scientific productivity and commitment to research in the selection process, as opposed to traditional measures of medical school performance.

Summary: The study revealed a lack of representation of women and underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in the field of nuclear medicine, particularly among faculty and leadership positions. There is also a declining trend in U.S. medical graduates entering nuclear medicine training programs. Early exposure to nuclear medicine training may help improve recruitment, especially among women and underrepresented minorities.
