Female dermatologists earned significantly less than their male counterparts in the 1990s. This study found a 28% income gap, even after accounting for work hours and practice details.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Economics
  • Physician Workforce Studies
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • The relationship between dermatologists' gender and income has not been thoroughly investigated.
  • Existing research lacks a comprehensive analysis controlling for key physician and practice variables.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the association between gender and net annual income among dermatologists.
  • To control for physician work effort, provider characteristics, and practice characteristics in this analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of survey data from 266 actively practicing, US-based, white dermatologists.
  • Data collected from the American Medical Association (AMA) survey between 1992 and 2002.
  • Statistical adjustment for work effort, provider, and practice characteristics.

Main Results:

  • White female dermatologists saw 21% fewer patients and worked 16% fewer hours than white male dermatologists.
  • Female dermatologists were more likely to be employees and had fewer years of practice.
  • After adjustments, female dermatologists earned $81,746 (28%) less annually than male dermatologists (P=.005).

Conclusions:

  • Female gender was associated with lower annual incomes for US dermatologists during the 1990s.
  • Further research is needed to explore additional factors contributing to these income disparities.
  • Findings highlight potential gender-based inequities in physician compensation within dermatology.
