Objectives: Compare lifetime earning potential (LEP) for developmental and behavioral pediatrics (DBP) to general pediatrics and other pediatric subspecialties. Evaluate association between LEP for DBP and measures of workforce distribution.
Methods: Using compensation and debt data from 2018 to 2019 and a net present value analysis, we estimated LEP for DBP compared to general pediatrics and other pediatric subspecialties.
Objective: Examine the relationship between the gender distribution of the pediatric subspecialty workforce and lifetime earning potential.
Methods: We estimated lifetime earning potential for pediatric academic subspecialists using mean debt and compensation data from national physician surveys for 2019 to 2020 and examined the relationship between the workforce gender composition and lifetime earning potential across the pediatric subspecialties using linear regression analysis.
Results: Subspecialties with a higher proportion of women had lower lifetime earning potential (-$55,215 in lifetime earning potential/1% increase in the percentage of female subspecialists; P value .
Addressing Gender-Based Disparities in Earning Potential in Academic Medicine.
JAMA Netw Open
February 2022
Importance: Gender-based disparities in compensation in academic medicine are recognized, but their estimated impacts on early career earning potential and strategies to mitigate them have not been well studied.
Objectives: To compare earning potential between female and male academic physicians in the first 10 years of posttraining employment and to evaluate the estimated impact of promotion timing, starting salary, and salary growth rate on earning potential.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Using publicly available mean debt and compensation data for full-time employed academic physicians in the US from 2019 to 2020, starting salary, salary in year 10 of employment, annual salary growth rate, and overall earning potential in the first 10 years of employment were estimated for each gender by subspecialty.
Objectives: Compare lifetime earning potential between academic pediatric and adult medicine generalists and subspecialists. Evaluate the effect of decreasing the length of training for pediatric subspecialties whose length of training is longer than that for the adult medicine counterpart.
Methods: Using compensation and debt data from national physician surveys for 2019-2020, we estimated and compared the lifetime earning potential for academic pediatric and adult physicians.
Importance: Differences in lifetime earning potential between pediatric subspecialties may contribute to shortages in the subspecialty workforce.
Objectives: To evaluate the association between lifetime earning potential and workforce distribution and to investigate the potential role of a pediatric subspecialist-specific loan repayment program (LRP) in workforce expansion.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This study was performed on publicly available mean debt and compensation data from national physician surveys from 2018 to 2019 of pediatric subspecialists in academic practice.
Objectives: Our 2011 report, reflecting data from 2007-2008, demonstrated that, for many pediatric subspecialties, pursuing fellowship training was a negative financial decision when compared with practicing as a general pediatrician. We provide an updated analysis on the financial impact of pediatric fellowship training and model interventions that can influence the results.
Methods: We estimated the financial returns a graduating pediatric resident might anticipate from fellowship training followed by a career as a pediatric subspecialist and compared them with the returns expected from starting a career as a general pediatrician immediately after residency.
Objectives: To (1) analyze the financial returns of fellowship training in pediatrics and to compare them with those generated from a career in general pediatrics and (2) evaluate the effects of including the newly enacted federal loan-repayment program and of changing the length of fellowship training.
Background: Although the choice to enter fellowship is based on many factors, economic considerations are important. We are not aware of any study that has focused on the financial impact of fellowship training in pediatrics.
