| الوصف: | Background: Despite laudable efforts to increase gender diversity in cardiology, much remains unknown about the experiences - including working activities and pay - of those women who have joined this still predominantly male specialty. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that a gender difference in compensation would exist on unadjusted analyses and that this could be explained by differences in the many personal, job, and practice characteristics measured in our dataset. Methods: Using the 2013 annual practice survey of MedAxiom, a subscription-based service provider for cardiology practices, we described personal, job, and practice characteristics of cardiologists from 161 practices and their salary by gender. Multivariable linear regression analysis and the Peters-Belson technique of labor economics were applied to evaluate gender differences. Results: Of 2679 subjects, 229 (8.5%) were female and 2450 male. Women were more likely to have specialized in general/non-invasive cardiology (53.1% vs 28.2%), and a lower proportion (11.4% vs 39.3%) reported an interventional subspecialty compared to men. Numerous job characteristics differed by gender, including the proportion working full-time (79.9% of women vs 90.9% of men, p<0.001), number of half-days worked (median 422 for women vs 433 for men, p=0.001), and wRVUs generated (median 7430 for women vs 9301 for men, p<0.001). Median salary was $394,586 (IQR: $256,064; $518,277) among women and $502,251 ($381,417; $621,306) among men. Peters-Belson analysis revealed that the women in this sample would have been expected to have a mean salary of $432,631, based on their productivity and other characteristics, had they been male, but the actual observed mean salary among women was $400,882 (unexplained difference=$31,749, 95% CI $16,303 - $48,028). Multivariable linear regression analysis yielded significant results similar in direction and magnitude. Conclusions: This study provides novel information about the diverse jobs held by men and women practicing cardiology ... |
