In a survey of 568 physician members of the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE), most of whom had advanced management degrees (MBA, MMM, MPH), approximately 90% of respondents reported that their investment in the education was "worth it." The return on investment was independent of the quality of the academic institution, although primary care physicians stood to gain more relative to specialists. Salary comparisons showed that female physicians had approximately 20% lower incomes than male physicians, confirming the presence of a "glass ceiling" for female physician executives as seen in other medical specialties. These findings have implications for early and mid-career physicians and physician recruiters.
在美国医师高管学院(ACPE)对568名医师成员进行的一项调查中,他们中的大多数拥有高级管理学位(工商管理硕士、医疗管理硕士、公共卫生硕士),约90%的受访者表示他们在教育方面的投入“物有所值”。投资回报率与学术机构的质量无关,尽管与专科医生相比,初级保健医生可能获得更多收益。薪资比较显示,女医师的收入比男医师低约20%,这证实了女医师高管中存在“玻璃天花板”现象,这在其他医学专科中也有体现。这些发现对处于职业生涯早期和中期的医师以及医师招聘人员具有启示意义。
