ICYMI - The new report builds on the AAMC's 2019 report, Promising Practices for Understanding and Addressing Faculty Salary Equity at U.S. Medical Schools, which found that women were paid between $0.72 and $0.96 per $1 paid to men across different departments and specialties.
That report was unable to disaggregate the data across race and ethnicity, however, because that information was not collected in the Faculty Salary Survey until 2020. This new analysis is the first that includes data on race and ethnicity by gender for multiple specialties and departments.
The key findings of the report include:
- In most cases, White men received a higher median compensation than men of other races and women of all races and ethnicities.
- Gender was the primary factor driving compensation inequities; men consistently made more than women of the same race and ethnicity.
- No particular BIPOC faculty group experienced consistent pay inequities over others. In some cases, however, the sample size of BIPOC faculty was small. The report includes the number of faculty represented in each category in its appendix.
"The implications of these findings are very clear: We need to amplify our hiring practices and accelerate our efforts to retain diverse faculty across all specialties," says @Valerie Dandar, director of medical school operations for the AAMC and a co-author of the report.

Subject: Just released! Exploring Faculty Salary Equity at U.S. Medical Schools by Gender and Race/Ethnicity
As part of its efforts to address gender equity in academic medicine, the AAMC published Exploring Faculty Salary Equity at U.S. Medical Schools by Gender and Race/Ethnicity, which offers national compensation data by both gender and race/ethnicity to support institutions in successfully implementing salary equity initiatives. The publication explores salary equity as one of many institutional efforts that make up an overall strategy to promote an equitable culture and climate. It is the first large analysis of its kind to assess this data.
The AAMC will host a webinar on Oct. 20 to further explore the findings.
