Online Lecture
Achieving Equity: Closing the Gaps in Pay, Ownership, and Leadership

Dr. Ruth Williams (Wheaton Eye Clinic, Illinois) 

Programm

The percentage of women physicians is steadily increasing. In the U.S., women in the physician workforce increased from 28% in 2007 to 36% in 2019 and just over half of U.S. medical students are now female. Despite these remarkable gains, there are persistent equity gaps in pay, ownership, and leadership.

I will present recent data describing the gender pay gap in ophthalmology along with a discussion of contributing factors and areas for additional research. The talk will also discuss female ownership of practices, property, and business as a strategy for equity. While leadership roles for women in academia, business, and medicine lag, I will share pragmatic solutions for closing these gaps.
