Gender gaps in publication output were not present in the most recent time period (2019-2024). More recent graduates had significantly higher prefellowship publication counts than earlier cohorts. Integrated trainees and U.S.-trained surgeons had higher preresidency publication counts and shorter training durations. Panel presentation rates remained modestly male-dominated in recent years, though overall conference representation showed no gender differences.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The most recent cohort of craniofacial fellows demonstrates encouraging progress toward gender parity in representation, academic productivity, and conference participation.
