Abstract

Background

The impact of intersectionality on academic radiology physician compensation is not well known.

Purpose

The aim of this study was to assess impact of intersectionality on academic radiology financial compensation, based on rank, gender and race/ethnicity in US medical schools.

Methods

Data were collected from the AAMC Faculty Salary Survey, which collects information for full-time faculty at U.S. medical schools. Financial compensation data for radiology faculty with MD or equivalent degree in diagnostic radiology (DR) as well as interventional radiology (IR) was collected for 2023, stratified by rank, gender, and race/ethnicity.

Results

The AAMC Faculty Salary Survey data for 2023 included responses for 683 IR (138 women, 545 men) and 2431 DR (862 women, 1569 men) faculty. Men had a higher median compensation than women at all ranks, for both IR and DR, except DR instructors. The gender pay gap was greater in IR faculty compared to DR faculty of the same rank. All intersectional groups among IR faculty reported a lower median compensation compared to White men of the same rank. All intersectional groups among DR faculty, except Asian Men, had a lower median compensation than White men of the same rank. Among IR faculty, Asian women assistant professors faced the greatest disparity in median compensation, down to $75 K (15%) lower than White men. Among DR faculty, Black/African American women assistant professors faced the greatest disparity on median compensation, down to $48 K (10.5%) lower than White men.

Conclusion

The study results raise important concerns about impact of intersectionality on faculty compensation in radiology which needs further study and should be addressed as part of broader drive to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic radiology.

美国放射学学术界的交叉性与教师薪酬

背景：目的：本研究旨在根据美国医学院的级别、性别和种族/族裔，评估交叉性对学术放射学医生薪酬的影响：数据来自美国医学会教职员工薪酬调查（AAMC Faculty Salary Survey），该调查收集了美国医学院全职教职员工的信息。收集了2023年放射诊断学（DR）和介入放射学（IR）专业具有医学博士或同等学位的放射学教师的经济补偿数据，并按职级、性别和种族/民族进行了分层：2023 年 AAMC 教职员工薪酬调查数据包括 683 名 IR（138 名女性，545 名男性）和 2431 名 DR（862 名女性，1569 名男性）教职员工的回复。在 IR 和 DR 的所有职级中，男性薪酬中位数均高于女性，但 DR 导师除外。与同级别的 DR 教员相比，IR 教员的性别薪酬差距更大。与同级别的白人男性相比，国际关系学系所有交叉群体的薪酬中位数都较低。除亚裔男性外，其他所有交叉群体的薪酬中位数均低于同级别的白人男性。在国际关系学教员中，亚裔女助理教授的报酬中位数差距最大，比白人男性低 75 K 美元（15%）。在文献学教员中，黑人/非洲裔女助理教授面临的薪酬中位数差距最大，比白人男性低 48 K 美元（10.5%）：研究结果引起了人们对交叉性对放射学教师薪酬影响的重要关注，这需要进一步研究，并应作为放射学学术界提高多样性、公平性和包容性的更广泛努力的一部分加以解决。
