Summary
A recent Doximity report reveals growing pay disparities among physicians, with women earning 26% less than men as of 2024, despite similar levels of experience and specialty considerations. While the overall physician compensation rose by 3.7% last year, the increase was disproportionately higher for men at 5.7% compared to just 1.7% for women. Additionally, pediatric subspecialists face significant financial challenges, earning far less than their adult counterparts and reporting reimbursement issues that hinder early intervention efforts. This widening pay gap and financial strain may ultimately impact the quality of care provided, raising concerns among healthcare professionals regarding the sustainability of pediatric medicine.
