[womeninmed] Fw: Women in medicine on the national news

Tue Sep 26 21:14:29 EDT 2023

It’s important to have a work place that has strategies in place for attaining pay equity, a way to track progress, and a mechanism for addressing concerns when they arise.   Let’s not endure these discouraging experiences alone. Thank you Vicki and Sylvie for your advocacy!

It’s a global issue (article in today’s NYT):

I agrée. We have to keep working for it.

I was told “ Your husband ( a surgeon) has a good salary, why are you worried?”
Admittedly that was in the 70’s!
I was outraged, which I think is one of the things that spurred me on to try to do what I could for parity etc at Upstate!

 Nothing’s really changed in 35 years. There’s always a “reason” men make more money. The most preposterous one I was given when I asked for equal pay at USC was “ well he has a 500K mortgage”. The chair failed to consider that the male radiologist was married to a plastic surgeon.  It will not change until the people in charge are predominantly women because men will always want to make more.
