Despite improvements in physician workforce diversity over the past several decades, significant disparities in compensation and promotion remain between male and female providers. Research has both demonstrated and disputed sex differences in physicians’ salaries, debated the magnitude of a salary gap, and suggested that the gap can be accounted for by the tendency of women to enter less lucrative specialties. Using a novel ten-year panel dataset, I examine gender difference in salary for internal medicine physicians practicing at five public academic medical centers in California.
