title = "Towards a common lexicon for equity, diversity, and inclusion work in academic medicine",
abstract = "Differential rewarding of work and experience has been a longtime feature of academic medicine, resulting in a series of academic disparities. These disparities have been collectively called a cultural or minority “tax,” and, when considered beyond academic medicine, exist across all departments, colleges, and schools of institutions of higher learning–from health sciences to disciplines located on university campuses outside of medicine and health. A shared language can provide opportunities for those who champion this work to pool resources for larger impacts across the institution. This article aims to catalog the terms used across academic medicine disciplines to establish a common language describing the inequities experienced by Black, Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, Women, and other underrepresented people as well as queer, disabled, and other historically marginalized or excluded groups. These ideas are specific to academic medicine in the United States, although many can be used in academic medicine in other countries. The terms were selected by a team of experts in equity, diversity, and inclusion, (EDI) who are considered national thought leaders in EDI and collectively have over 100 years of scholarship and experience in this area.",

note = "Funding Information: Women with the same experience, productivity, and clinical expertise are paid less than men. In the United States, women physicians earn 75 cents on the dollar compared with their male counterparts, even after accounting for numerous potential confounders. The 2020 numbers show the same disparity despite the increase in overall compensation. Many women, because of competing demands, are being paid for 80% time but continue to perform at 100% time. Men who work part-time usually do so to fulfill another career goal while women do so to care for children or elderly parents. At many institutions, reduction in time commitment leads to a disproportionate decrease in benefits like healthcare coverage and lack of opportunity to move into leadership positions. This also diminishes the productivity in scholarship due to being assigned uncompensated service-related tasks []. There is also a documented gender gap in National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant applications and funding [–]. Funding Information: Some of authors were partially funded by a grant from the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) to produce this work, entitled the Leadership through Scholarship Fellowship (LTSF). STFM funded OA, TA, KCA, KF, YP, MHW to participate in the LTSF, and they funded JCW, KMC and JER to lead the fellowship. In addition, the STFM grant will cover the cost of publication in BMC Medical Education. STFM had no role in the design of the study, nor the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data, nor in writing this manuscript. Funding Information: We would like to acknowledge the Leadership through Scholarship Fellowship, funded by the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, for their support of this work.
