Female urologists still earn less money than their male counterparts

Although the field of urology remains largely male dominated, the proportion of female physicians specializing in urology has increased from less than 0.5 percent in 1981 to 10 percent today, and 33 percent of students entering urology internships and residency programs are now female. Researchers report that gender inequality between male and female urologists persists with women currently earning approximately $76,000 less than men annually.
