Abstract

Gender inequity is a critical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) issue that has continued to lead to workplace disparities. While gender-based differences in pay are well documented, there are multiple other facets of academic work-life (eg, teaching, research, service, resources, etc.) wherein gender inequities exist but have never been systematically identified or reported. COVID-19 has further exacerbated these inequities. One reason for continued existence of gender disparities in the workplace is lack of focused attention and emphasis on this issue. A recently formed Gender Equity Task Force has taken the first steps to systematically explore gender inequity in all areas of academic pharmacy work life. The purpose of this commentary is to highlight the scope of the problem of gender inequity in pharmacy academia and offer solutions that the Academy can implement to mitigate the impact of gender inequity in the future.
