Dear resident/fellow/attending physicians,
As a requirement for my master’s research paper I am conducting a literature review of gender wage gap studies. Over the years research such as that by Lo Sasso et al. (2011) has confirmed that newly trained male physicians often earn more than their female counterparts, however, little progress has been made in determining why. Similar to others, Lo Sasso concluded that in 2008, newly trained male physicians in New York State made on average $16,819 more than their female counterparts, compared to a $3,600 difference in 1999.
If you could please take a moment to anonymously answer a few brief questions regarding the issue I would be greatly appreciative.
This survey is only for those who have earned the medical degree and have begun a residency program or beyond.
