The impact of targeted fee increases on the pay disparity between female and male general surgeons in British Columbia

CONCLUSION: Targeted fee increases reduced pay disparity between male and female general surgeons compared with theoretical across-the-board fee increases in British Columbia from 2010/11 to 2019/20, but not uniformly; some fee increases resulted in increased disparity. Other physician groups should conduct a similar analysis and allocate future fee changes with the aim of improving rather than worsening disparity.PMID:37914209 | PMC:PMC10620007 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.000922
