More women are matriculating to higher-paid physician specialty fields, especially surgery, but they still have a way to go before reaching parity with their male counterparts, an analysis found.Among 490,188 students to"pipeline" specialties from 2008 to 2022 , the proportion of women entering higher-paid specialties grew from 32.7% to 40.
Specialties defined as having the highest compensation, based on data from Doximity, were the surgical fields of neurosurgery, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, plastic surgery , surgery , thoracic surgery , urology, and vascular surgery and the nonsurgical fields of anesthesiology, dermatology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, and radiology .
She added that it will take time for the dominance of women among medical students to translate into more representation in the physician workforce. Also,"studies show that female physicians have higher attrition rates than men. To achieve a more balanced gender representation in medicine, it's crucial not just to have more women entering the profession, but to focus on addressing the barriers that hinder their career advancement.
