Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Physician Assistant Studies

Background:

  • The gender wage gap is a recognized issue across various industries.
  • Previous studies indicated salary disparities among physician assistant (PA) educators.
  • This study investigates potential gender-based disparities in academic rank within PA education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-evaluate gender disparities in compensation for PA educators.
  • To explore gender-based differences in promotion to higher academic ranks in PA education.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.
  • Analyzed data from the PA Education Association Faculty and Directors Survey (2014, 2017, 2019).
  • Conducted a focus group to interpret findings and identify promotion barriers for female faculty.

Main Results:

  • Female PA faculty earn an average of $7,573 less than male colleagues, controlling for other variables.
  • Women are more likely to be in early-career stages (RR 1.150) compared to late-career stages.
  • Men are twice as likely to hold doctoral degrees, which are associated with decreased risk of early-career stage (RR 0.567).

Conclusions:

  • Significant gender disparities in academic rank and salary persist among PA faculty.
  • Female faculty face greater challenges in obtaining doctoral degrees and achieving promotion to higher academic ranks.
  • Addressing pay equity and promotion barriers is essential, especially with increasing female representation in PA education.
