Gender-based salary gaps persist for physical therapist managers. Female therapists earned less than male counterparts, whether salaried or self-employed, particularly in acute care settings.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Gender Studies in Healthcare

Background:

  • Gender-based income disparities are a persistent issue across professions.
  • Understanding these disparities within healthcare management is crucial for equity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate gender-based income differences among physical therapists in management roles.
  • To examine if these differences vary between salaried and self-employed therapists.
  • To control for factors like work hours, experience, and time in position.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 969 physical therapists in management positions across the US.
  • Analysis of covariance was used to compare income between genders, adjusting for key variables.

  • T-tests were employed to compare other characteristics based on gender.

    • Main Results:

    • Self-employed female physical therapists earned 77% of the income of their male counterparts.
    • Salaried female managers earned 89% of the income of male managers.
    • Significant salary gaps for salaried managers were observed primarily in acute care settings.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender-based salary disparities were evident for physical therapist managers.
    • These income differences were present for both salaried and self-employed therapists, varying by practice area.
    • The findings highlight the need for continued attention to gender equity in physical therapy compensation.
