In medicine, men generally earn more than women for similar work, but a new study published recently in BMJ finds that the income gap between genders shrinks substantially in practices with more equal gender distributions of staff physicians. The analysis showed that in nonsurgical specialty practices with at least as many women as men, men earn 12 percent more than women. However, that gap nearly doubles — to 20% — for practices with more than 90% male physicians on staff.
