Physician compensation has been found to be influenced by gender, academic affiliation, specialty, productivity, and time in practice. This study explores their impact in the field of neonatology to inform institutional strategic planning and decisions by current and future practitioners.
A voluntary anonymous survey was distributed to members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine with a 15% response rate. The survey contained questions assessing clinician characteristics, work environment, and professional productivity. Statistical analysis was done using JMP Pro 14.0.0 by SAS.
Median salary was $256,000 (interquartile range, $213,608-315,000). Generalized linear model found that years post fellowship, academic affiliation, gender, practice location, professional duties, and clinical team member types independently influenced expected salary.
Several factors influence the expected compensation of this cohort of neonatologists, even after adjustments for differences in clinician characteristics, work environment, and productivity.
研究发现，医师薪酬受到性别、学术背景、专业、生产力和从业时间的影响。本研究旨在探讨新生儿科领域的这些影响因素，以为当前和未来从业者提供机构战略规划和决策的参考。
对美国儿科学会新生儿-围产医学分会成员进行了一项自愿匿名调查，回复率为 15%。该调查包含评估临床医生特征、工作环境和专业生产力的问题。统计分析使用 JMP Pro 14.0.0 由 SAS 完成。
中位薪酬为 256,000 美元（四分位间距，213,608-315,000 美元）。广义线性模型发现， fellowship后年限、学术背景、性别、执业地点、专业职责和临床团队成员类型独立影响预期薪酬。
即使在调整了临床医生特征、工作环境和生产力差异后，仍有几个因素影响着这一新生儿科医生群体的预期薪酬。
