Family Medicine is Not Immune to Racial and Gender Wage Gaps

This has been attributedto multiple potential causative factors, includingdifferences in time demands between men andwomen at home, contract negotiating differencesbetween the sexes, implicit bias of employers andexecutives, socioeconomic intersection with race,and more.
