The next few paragraphs will bring to light the discrepancies women face in healthcare. I will attempt to illuminate the chasm between males and females not only in income in general but also how it changes throughout their respective careers, whether there is a parental and ethnic impact. Writing this article is something clearly out of my comfort zone, however, I’m glad I did, as it taught me a lot about the current economic state of healthcare and what my female colleagues have endured.

I hope that this article has done for you what it has done for me, illustrating the fact that there is a huge gender income gap in not only healthcare but also the workplace as a whole. For those entering the workforce or those switching roles and are looking for assistance in negotiating salaries (something I’ve done plenty of times over my career), consider booking a 30 min call with me, so I can share some strategies to ensure you get compensated commensurate with your abilities.
