Ankita Sagar, MD, MPH, FACP<p>Yesterday was <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/NationalWomenPhysiciansDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NationalWomenPhysiciansDay</span></a> </p><p>And no surprise, this week's <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PolicyCapsule" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PolicyCapsule</span></a> discusses gender equity - specifically <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/paygap" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>paygap</span></a>, <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/parentalleave" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>parentalleave</span></a>, & discrimination. </p><p>I even attempt some basic math to quantify the total $$$ (salary + interest) a female primary care physician will lose over 40 years due to the pay gap. </p><p>This post is complete with a case review, policy breakdown, call to action, and some math for good measure. </p><p><a href="https://ankitasagarmd.substack.com/p/women-in-medicine-our-present-vs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ankitasagarmd.substack.com/p/w</span><span class="invisible">omen-in-medicine-our-present-vs</span></a></p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/WomenInMedicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WomenInMedicine</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/genderequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>genderequity</span></a></p>
