OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS


Understanding and addressing salary equity in academic medicine is critical to attracting and retaining talented faculty in U.S. medical schools and fulfilling institutional missions. This publication explores salary equity as one of many institutional efforts that make up an overall strategy to promote an equitable culture and climate.

The AAMC developed this report to offer national compensation data by gender and race/ethnicity to support institutions in successfully implementing salary equity initiatives at the local level. This analysis of compensation by gender and race/ethnicity recognizes how critical it is for institutions to use multiple variables in their analyses to get accurate results and identify areas of inequity. The presentation of AAMC Faculty Salary Survey data illuminates trends in the current state of faculty compensation by gender, race/ethnicity, rank, degree, and medical specialty.

Key Findings:

  • In most cases, White men were paid a higher median compensation than men of other races/ethnicities and women of all races/ethnicities.
  • Of faculty of the same race/ethnicity, men had a higher median compensation than women in most cases, indicating that gender is the primary factor driving compensation inequities.
  • Compensation equity trends vary greatly between departments/specialties, degree types, and races/ethnicities.
  • No trends were observed where individuals of one race/ethnicity consistently made less than all other races/ethnicities – that is, people of one race/ethnicity did not always make less than others.
  • Even among the departments/specialties with the most faculty of color, such as OB/GYN, gaps in compensation by gender and race/ethnicity existed.
