A study by the University of Michigan found that the number of female residents entering high-paying medical specialties, particularly surgical fields, has increased. Despite overall inequality in pay between male and female doctors, there has been progress in attracting more women to high-compensation specialties. The rise in female applicants to surgical fields has been notable, suggesting a potential shift towards gender parity in medicine. Efforts such as social media campaigns and research have likely contributed to this trend, but more investigation is needed to understand the factors driving these changes and to address the existing disparities in physician representation and compensation.
