Abstract
UNLABELLED: Gender inequity exists within medicine in both compensation and leadership positions. In this perspective, the data on American Academy of Sleep Medicine leadership positions held by women and compensation differences between men and women physicians in an American Academy of Sleep Medicine compensation survey were studied. The results showed significant improvement in the inclusivity of women in senior-level leadership. However, the compensation data showed that women physicians received around 15% less pay than men physicians, even when calculated based on work relative value unit.
