results validated in Matlab R2016a). The primary outcome measure was percentagefemale in the incoming orthopaedic residency class by residency year (𝑃"# ). Data were analyzedvia graphical representation (% female by year) and descriptive statistics.Results The results of our mathematical model (Figure 2) suggest that our outreach programmingefforts will increase the rate of women in orthopaedic residency to the critical threshold of 30%[11] within the next 6 years (by 2022) and eventually reach a plateau of 45% female within 10years (by 2025). If we assume worst-case conditions – that is, we underestimate the rates ofmatriculation from our program into orthopaedics – we will achieve 30% female within 10 years,and this will be the
