Abstract

Women in academic emergency medicine (EM) experience disparities in both compensation and advancement.1-3 Some hypothesized causes of gender disparities include lack of mentorship and resources,4-5 unequal distribution of opportunity,6-7 sexism8 and implicit bias.9-10 Gender differences in academic rank in EM may also be driven by differences in scholarly productivity, slower ascent to leadership among women, attrition from academic medicine, and potentially a lack of adequate support for faculty that have family obligations competing with work,4 though these factors are largely speculative.
