Equity, in broad terms, is a critical issue and has been identified as an area that needs particular attention in academic medicine. Gender equity, as a subset of overall equity, has equally been shown to be lacking in academic medicine, and most medical schools and academic health systems are involved in substantive journeys to improve all dimensions of equity, diversity, and inclusion. This Invited Commentary calls for including gender-based salary equity as a foundational accomplishment for institutions seeking to achieve overall equity. In addition, the authors provide evidence and recommendations to guide institutions toward best practices in achieving salary equity. They propose 4 areas of consideration: (1) prioritization by leadership; (2) prioritization of resources to ensure success; (3) development of corrective action plans which are "automatic" and based on clear guidelines; and (4) transparency of methodology, data, and results.
公平，广义而言，是一个关键问题，已被确定为学术医学领域需要特别关注的领域。性别公平是整体公平的一个子集，同样也被证明在学术医学中缺乏，大多数医学院校和学术卫生系统都在进行实质性的努力，以改善公平、多样性和包容性的所有方面。本特邀评论呼吁将基于性别的薪资公平作为寻求实现整体公平的机构的基本成就。此外，作者还提供了证据和建议，以指导机构实现薪资公平的最佳实践。他们提出了四个需要考虑的方面：（1）领导层的优先排序；（2）确保成功的资源优先排序；（3）制定“自动”和基于明确指导方针的纠正行动计划；以及（4）方法、数据和结果的透明度。
