As the physician assistant (PA) profession celebrates its 50th birthday, we can be proud of the gains our profession has accomplished. However, despite the positive reports of job satisfaction, a marked increase in female PA leaders, and overall gains in PA compensation, a significant wage gap remains between male and female PAs. The PA profession is flourishing but it is time female PAs are paid equitably.
随着医师助理(PA)职业迎来其50周年诞辰,我们可以为我们职业所取得的成就感到自豪。然而,尽管有关于工作满意度的积极报告、女性PA领导者数量显著增加以及PA薪酬总体提高,但男性和女性PA之间仍存在显著的工资差距。PA职业正在蓬勃发展,但现在是时候让女性PA获得公平薪酬了。
