Key Points Question What is the true magnitude of differences in salary, time to promotion, and accumulated wealth between male and female faculty, and how are these measures associated with a set of institutional gender equity initiatives? Findings In this quality improvement simulation study of salaries of 1481 faculty, the salary gap and time to promotion decreased after implementation of gender equity initiatives; however, small persistent differences were still associated with substantial disparities. Meaning Residual gender-based salary gaps may lead to substantial differences in accumulated wealth over the career course and into retirement, but institution-wide promotion of equity initiatives can slowly begin to narrow the disparity.
