Gender-Based Salary Gap Persists Among Academic Emergency Medicine Physicians

In what is likely the first study that evaluates this trend over such a long time period and considers both traditional academic and academic-community salaries by gender, researchers found that the salary disparity is greatest among more senior faculty, that is, associate and full professors.

The lead author of the study is Jennifer L. Wiler, MD, MBA, executive vice chair and associate professor of the department of emergency medicine.
