We defined academic surgeons as current faculty within university-affiliated departments. Leadership roles included departmental\/practice, education, or residency\/fellowship positions. Bivariate tests and multivariable mixed-effects negative binomial and logistic regression were used to identify associations with career and publication outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 508 graduates, 394 (79.9%) were men, and 393 (77.4%) graduated from an orthopedic surgery residency program. Of these, 25.9% became academic hand surgeons, of whom 26.2% were women, and 18.2% held leadership roles, of whom 30.7% were women. Being a woman, completing integrated plastic surgery residency compared with orthopedic surgery or general surgery, and increased publication volume by the end of fellowship were associated with working in academic surgery. Being a woman, increased years since graduating fellowship, graduating from a fellowship in the Midwest compared with the West, and increased publication volume by the end of fellowship were associated with having a leadership role.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified several factors associated with academic careers and leadership roles in hand surgery.
