The Lead Episode 21: A Discussion of Mind the Gap - Sex Disparity in Salaries Among Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Electrophysiologists

Description

Though the proportion of women in the medical field has grown, disparities continue to exist. This study examined the salaries, academic ranking and years of experience among pediatric electrophysiology providers. Using the membership of the Pediatric and Adult Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES), survey data was examined. Of the 147 respondents (67%), the authors found a pay disparity among women physicians at a 0.78 ratio. The only indepedent predictors of a higher salary were: 1) male sex, 2) years in practice and 3) practicing within the United States.

Learning Objectives
