In my 2019 job search, I used @AAMCtoday reports to find what I might expect to earn as a junior #WIC

In @JAMAInternalMed, @teresa_wang88, @pamelasdouglas, & I use these data to ask if disparities in 💰 & promotion persist despite ⬆️ #WomenInMedicine

🧵

2/7: We examined the 2018-2019 @AAMCtoday Faculty Salary Report

Extracted median annual salary, faculty rank, and gender for
21,905 faculty within
13 #InternalMedicine specialties at
154 U.S. medical schools

What'd we find?

3/7:
📈Women = ~40% of total full-time faculty across all ranks

📉Gender distribution was more equal at junior faculty ranks; however, only ~25% of Professors & Chiefs across all IM specialties were women

💰Women’s median annual salary was lower across all ranks

What else?

4/7:
🔴 #👩🏾‍⚕️> #👨🏾‍⚕️ in General IM, Endocrinology, Geriatrics

🔴 Procedural specialties — Pulmonology, Critical Care, Gastroenterology, Cardiology — had ⬇️ 👩🏾‍⚕️

Median annual 💰for women was lower compared with men across all Internal Medicine specialties

5/7:
🔴By rank, men’s 💰 exceeded women’s in 56/62 categories

🔴Women’s 💰 did not reach 90% of men’s in Cardiology, GI, Critical Care

🔴These procedural specialties had largest disparities in salary and & representation, especially within higher ranks

6/7: We summarize that 💰 disparities persist in U.S. IM specialties & are *most pronounced* in procedural specialties w/fewer women

As 3 cardiologists ourselves, achieving gender balance in workforce may propel us toward salary parity in IM subspecialties

MUCH WORK TO BE DONE!

7/7: 🙏🏾 @JAMAInternalMed, @RFRedberg & reviewers for helping us tell this story
