Abstract

A concern in women’s health care is the potential for inequitable compensation for services provided. For example, a 2000 JAMA report indicated that inflation-adjusted annualized salary growth was negative for faculty in obstetrics and gynecology. This chapter examines trends in the salaries of medical school faculty in women’s healthcare based on a review of extensive national salary databases.
