title: The status of women in US academic pharmacy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the status of women in pharmacy education with particular focus on a 10-year update of a previous study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Information was obtained from national databases, published reports, scholarly articles, and association websites. Comparisons were made between men and women regarding degree completion, rank, tenure status, leadership positions, research awards, salaries, and career advancement.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There have been modest gains in the number of women serving as department chairs and deans. Salary disparities were found between men and women at several ranks within pharmacy practice. Men were more apt to be tenured or in tenure-track positions and received 89.4% of the national achievement awards tracked since 1981.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The problem cannot be simply attributed to the pipeline of those entering academia. Barriers to advancement differ between men and women. We recommend that individuals, institutions, and associations implement strategies to decrease barriers and reduce bias against women.
