芝加哥-据6月13日刊《美国医学会杂志》JAMA上的一项研究披露,对职业生涯中期的医师研究人员所做的一项调查发现,他们中存在着工资的性别差异,这些差异即使是在对专科、机构特征、学术生产力、学术排名、工作小时数及其它因素进行调整之后也存在。

芝加哥-据6月13日刊《美国医学会杂志》JAMA上的一项研究披露,对职业生涯中期的医师研究人员所做的一项调查发现,他们中存在着工资的性别差异,这些差异即使是在对专科、机构特征、学术生产力、学术排名、工作小时数及其它因素进行调整之后也存在。

密歇根大学安阿伯分校的Reshma Jagsi, M.D., D.Phil.及其同事开展了一项研究,旨在对在一组相对同质的医师研究人员中是否有工资的性别差异,及如果有的话,这些差异是否与所属专业、生产力或其它因子有关进行检查。为了开展这项研究,研究人员在2009-2010年间给国立卫生研究院(NIH)在2000-2003年间的K08和K23职业发展奖的获奖者发送了一个全美范围内的邮寄调查。研究人员聚焦于这一挑选的人群以尽量减少资质或积极性方面的可变性以及在资历及工作活动内容上的可变性。有资格参加本项分析的人限于那些仍然在美国的学术机构行医并报告他们目前年度工资的医师。这项研究包括了247名女性医师和553名男性医师;其平均年龄为45岁而76%的做出回应者为白人。

研究人员发现,在这一样本中,总体来说,女性的平均工资为$16,7669美元,男性为$20,0433美元。在最终的模型中,男性性别与更高的工资(+$1,3399美元)有着独立和显著的相关性,这种相关性即使是在对专科、学术排名、领导职位、文章出版及研究时间进行校正之后也存在。额外的分析表明,女性预期的平均工资,如果她们保留了其它的检测特征但其性别为男性的话,会比所观察到的预期平均工资高出$1,2194美元。

文章的作者还发现,女性往往会从事较低工资的专业,有34%的女性和22%的男性处于工资最低的部类之中;有3%的女性及11%的男性处于工资最高的部类之中。此外,女性担任行政领导职位的可能性较低(10% vs.16%)且文章发表量较少(平均来说,27 vs. 33篇发表的文章)及工作时数较少(平均来说,58 vs. 63小时)。(生物谷Bioon.com)

Gender Differences in the Salaries of Physician Researchers

Context It is unclear whether male and female physician researchers who perform similar work are currently paid equally. Objectives To determine whether salaries differ by gender in a relatively homogeneous cohort of physician researchers and, if so, to determine if these differences are explained by differences in specialization, productivity, or other factors. Design and Setting A US nationwide postal survey was sent in 2009-2010 to assess the salary and other characteristics of a relatively homogeneous population of physicians. From all 1853 recipients of National Institutes of Health (NIH) K08 and K23 awards in 2000-2003, we contacted the 1729 who were alive and for whom we could identify a mailing address. Participants The survey achieved a 71% response rate. Eligibility for the present analysis was limited to the 800 physicians who continued to practice at US academic institutions and reported their current annual salary. Main Outcome Measures A linear regression model of self-reported current annual salary was constructed considering the following characteristics: gender, age, race, marital status, parental status, additional graduate degree, academic rank, leadership position, specialty, institution type, region, institution NIH funding rank, change of institution since K award, K award type, K award funding institute, years since K award, grant funding, publications, work hours, and time spent in research. Results The mean salary within our cohort was $167 669 (95% CI, $158 417-$176 922) for women and $200 433 (95% CI, $194 249-$206 617) for men. Male gender was associated with higher salary (+$13 399; P = .001) even after adjustment in the final model for specialty, academic rank, leadership positions, publications, and research time. Peters-Belson analysis (use of coefficients derived from regression model for men applied to women) indicated that the expected mean salary for women, if they retained their other measured characteristics but their gender was male, would be $12 194 higher than observed. Conclusion Gender differences in salary exist in this select, homogeneous cohort of mid-career academic physicians, even after adjustment for differences in specialty, institutional characteristics, academic productivity, academic rank, work hours, and other factors.
