Compensation in academic medicine: progress toward gender equity.

Background: Studies have documented substantial salary disparities between women and men in academic medicine. While various strategies have been proposed to increase equity, to our knowledge, no interventions have been evaluated.

Objective: This paper aims to assess the effect of an identity-conscious intervention on salary equity.

Gender differences in academic advancement: patterns, causes, and potential solutions in one US College of Medicine.

Purpose: The influx of women into academic medicine has not been accompanied by equality for male and female faculty. Women earn less than men in comparable positions, progress more slowly through academic ranks, and have not attained important leadership roles. This study tested hypotheses about why gender disparities exist in salary, rank, track, leadership, and perceptions of campus climate at one academic center, the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson.
