Objectives:
Despite efforts to reduce the gender wage gap, a 2019 survey of American Academy of Neurology members showed that a significant gender wage gap was still evident. This study aims to assess the gender wage gap from 2019 to 2023.
Methods:
Data were obtained from the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) Faculty Salary Report from 2019 to 2023. Compensations of full-time neurology faculty at medical schools were recorded by gender and stratified by academic rank. Mean salaries and gender wage gaps were trended over time, and statistical significance was tested using linear regression models.
Results:
From 2019 to 2023, the mean salary increased from $278 ,475 to $313 ,627 for men (p < 0.001) and $231, 863 to $269 ,870 for women (p < 0.001). The average gender wage gap was $46, 612 in 2019 and $43, 757 in 2023. Women made 90 cents-on-the-dollar compared with men at the same academic rank in 2019, which remained unchanged at 91 cents-on-the-dollar in 2023 (p = 0.48).
Discussion:
Despite increases in academic neurology salaries for both men and women from 2019 to 2023, the gender wage gap remained unchanged.
