A recent cross-sectional study revealed persistent salary disparities among assistant professors at U.S. medical schools based on gender, race, and ethnicity, with underrepresented-in-medicine women assistant professors earning $0.78 for every $1.00 earned by White men. The study observed a median annual salary of $266,450 for women compared with $330,000 for men, with URIM women having the lowest earnings. The findings suggest ongoing salary inequities across academic medicine, particularly among URIM women, reflecting broader systemic patterns.
