Racial and ethnic inequities in leadership achievement, compensation, scholarly productivity, and grant funding exists among physicians. This study explores whether similar inequities exist among neonatologists within the United States.
A voluntary anonymous survey was distributed to members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine with 560 respondents. Logistic regression and ordinary least squares were used to assess whether racial and ethnic identity is associated with clinical time, leadership, compensation, publication, grant funding, or academic rank.
As compared to non-Hispanic White neonatologists, statistical differences were found for underrepresented minorities in medicine in: regions of the country where they worked, total cash compensation received, being awarded an NIH grant, and location of graduate medical education. Fewer differences were found for Asian neonatologists and included location of graduate medicine education.
Racial and ethnic identity remains a significant independent factor influencing professional achievement and compensation.
在医生中，领导力成就、薪酬、学术产出和拨款资金方面存在着种族和民族不平等现象。本研究探讨了美国的新生儿科医生是否存在类似的不平等现象。
向美国儿科学会新生儿围产医学分会的成员发放了一份自愿匿名调查，共有 560 名受访者。使用逻辑回归和普通最小二乘法来评估种族和民族身份是否与临床时间、领导力、薪酬、发表文章、拨款资金或学术职称有关。
与非西班牙裔白人新生儿科医生相比，医学领域代表性不足的少数族裔在以下方面存在统计学差异：工作所在的国家地区、获得的总现金薪酬、获得 NIH 拨款的情况以及住院医师医学教育的地点。亚洲裔新生儿科医生的差异较小，包括住院医师医学教育的地点。
种族和民族身份仍然是影响专业成就和薪酬的重要独立因素。
