| Popis: | Objective Racial and ethnic inequities in leadership achievement, compensation, scholarly productivity, and grant funding exists among physicians. This study explores whether similar inequities exist among neonatologists within the United States. Study design A voluntary anonymous survey was distributed to members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Neonatal–Perinatal Medicine with 560 respondents. Logistic regression and ordinary least squares were used to assess whether racial and ethnic identity is associated with clinical time, leadership, compensation, publication, grant funding, or academic rank. Results As compared to non-Hispanic White neonatologists, statistical differences were found for underrepresented minorities in medicine in: regions of the country where they worked, total cash compensation received, being awarded an NIH grant, and location of graduate medical education. Fewer differences were found for Asian neonatologists and included location of graduate medicine education. Conclusion Racial and ethnic identity remains a significant independent factor influencing professional achievement and compensation. |
