What happened
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) introduced a new policy aimed at achieving gender equity in family medicine compensation. Shawn Martin, AAFP EVP and CEO, stated that female family physicians earn approximately 16% less than their male colleagues, a disparity that could reach $1.8 million or more over a 30-year career. The Academy also launched a new resource hub to assist physicians in advocating for fair pay.
