“…Research conducted in several countries (e.g., Lapeyre & Le Feuvre 2005;Linehan et al, 2013;Rosende, 2008;Rosenthal et al, 2013) shows that women continue to experience substantial disadvantages in comparison to men, and to work more in part time, while men occupy the higher status positions and are better paid (Lo Sasso, Richards, Chou, & Gerber, 2011), even in what might be deemed female specializations such as pediatrics (Machado, 2003). Moreover, the reconfiguration of segregation extends to countries with more balanced gender distributions in the medical field such as Russia, Finland, Britain and Sweden (Rosende, 2008).…”

Despite a progressive increase in the number of women in medicine, gender inequalities remain. This article presents a study analyzing the gender dynamics of tokenism in the medical field in Portugal, through the experiences of male specialists in female areas and female specialists in male areas and through their strategies for coping with such situations.We conducted individual, semi-structured interviews with nine female doctors and eight male doctors aged between 32 and 62 years old. Results show the links between tokenism dynamics and gender asymmetry in medicine, putting female tokens at a disadvantage in relation to male tokens. Token positions occasionally produce gender arrangements but, all things considered, do not transform female and male positions either in the medical field or in the private sphere. We conclude that tokenism contributes to maintaining the gender social order.

“…The gender-wage gap for physicians in the US, even allowing for dierences in training or specialisation, has been estimated to be up to 22% (Kehrer, 1976;Langwell, 1982;Ohsfeldt and Culler, 1986;Shih and Konrad, 2007;Weeks et al, 2009;Sasso et al, 2011;Jagsi et al, 2012).…”

Using data from a new longitudinal survey of doctors from Australia, the authors test whether observed large gender-pay gaps among general practitioners (GPs) are the result of women's larger willingness to interrupt their careers. On average, female GPs earn A$83,000 or 54% less than male GPs. The difference between men and women with children is A$105,000, and A$45,000 for men and women without children. Of this gap, 66-75% is explained by differences in observable characteristics such as hours worked. The family gap emerges also within the sexes. Female GPs with children experience an earnings penalty of A$15,000-A$25,000 in comparison to women without children; almost 100% of this difference is due to observable characteristics such as hours worked and career interruptions. Male GPs with children experience a family premium of A$35,000 in comparison to men without children, indicating the presence of a breadwinner effect that exacerbates the genderearnings gap.JEL Classification: J24

“…Some people hypothesize that this sex salary gap can be explained by the constraints of family responsibilities leading to decreased hours and productivity [9,10]. That may have been the case in the past, but recent studies found that this gender salary gap cannot be explained by age, experience, specialty, practice type, work hours, research productivity, or clinical revenue [8,11]. A double-blinded study found that American universities viewed men as more competent and deserving of higher salaries than equally qualified women [12].…”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) female physicians of color experience an interesting intersectionality of identities. While socially advantaged due to their status as physicians, they are also struck with socially disadvantageous statuses by being female, person of color, and LGBT. These individuals are united by recurring themes of oppression, lack of visibility, perceived inferiority, and of course empowerment. The purpose of this paper is to review the current literature on LGBT female physicians of color and to provide a framework for potential solutions. By increasing the number of LGBT female physicians of color in both the general workforce and positions of leadership, the patient-physician relationship can be strengthened, improving healthcare outcomes for the underserved. Further, improved physician satisfaction will promote physician wellbeing and longevity and protect against physician burnout.
