Etta D. Pisano, MD, FACR
Committee Chair

Goal and Strategies
The Committee’s goal is to empower AAWR members to achieve pay parity with their male colleagues. Strategies include:

a. Distribute national benchmarks on salaries, such as the AAMC Annual     Report on Medical School Faculty Salaries; also have data according to     gender. Work on assessing salary differences for those in
    private practice.

b. Workshops on salary negotiation during national meetings, such as the     RSNA, ARRS, ASTRO, etc. These workshops would be open to all     interested parties, invite guest speakers, and include presentations by     AAWR members who have gone through this process, etc.

c. Create a repository of useful information in the AAWR website, including     references and links to sources of literature, statistical and     demographic information, and other organizations.
