Résumé
Over the last few decades, more attention has been paid to the physician gender pay gap and more interventions have been attempted. This paper discusses the physician gender pay gap between 2017 and 2021 in Maryland. An online cross-sectional survey was distributed to over 10,000 physicians in the Maryland Medical Society, featuring questions regarding employment characteristics, compensation, impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and educational debt. Using descriptive and regression analyses, we explored cross-sectional associations between gender and employment characteristics. Male physicians reported a significantly higher average 2020 pre-tax income ($333,732 per year) than female physicians ($225,473 per year, The physician gender pay gap in Maryland has remained relatively stable over four years, including the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The physician gender pay gap in Maryland has remained stable over four years, including the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.Female physicians earned over 30% less than male physicians in Maryland in 2020.Female physicians are more likely to have educational debt, and when they do, they have a greater magnitude of debt.
