Salary Differences by Gender, Race, and Ethnicity Among Assistant Professors at US Medical Schools
This cross-sectional study of assistant professor faculty across 19 clinical specialties found salary disparities, with Asian and URIM, both men and women, receiving lower pay than White men. These findings suggest the need to address salary inequities in academia using an intersectional approach that considers both gender and race and ethnicity.
