Studies have repeatedly demonstrated salary-based gender disparities in the field of Urology. These disparities persist even when accounting for contributing factors such as years of experience, hours worked, and practice setting, suggesting that inherent gender bias exists. In addition to salary discrepancies, female urologists are also less likely to be promoted and less likely to hold leadership positions as compared to male urologists. We review the data supporting these disparities and provide tangible, evidence-based solutions for the field of Urology going forward.
研究反复表明,泌尿科领域存在基于薪酬的性别差异。即使考虑到工作年限、工作时间和执业环境等因素,这些差异仍然存在,这表明存在内在的性别偏见。除了薪酬差异外,与男性泌尿科医生相比,女性泌尿科医生晋升的可能性也较低,担任领导职务的可能性也较低。我们回顾了支持这些差异的数据,并为泌尿科领域提供了切实可行的基于证据的解决方案。
