Women Physicians Unleashed!
Contract Negotiation Coaching & Workshops with Geeta Arora, M.D.
Doximity released their 2020 physician compensation report; there are 2 parts of the gender pay gap that I see first hand and am still shocked by every single time I help women physicians negotiate their contracts. These statements have not changed for years. They are:
1. This year’s data found that the wage gap between male and female physicians was 28 percent, with male doctors earning over $116,000 more annually than their female counterparts.
2. When examining the gender wage gap by specialty, the data showed no medical specialties in which women earned the same or more than men in 2020.
It’s time to flip the switch. How do we do that? As women physicians it’s time for us to learn how to negotiate. I’ve spent my entire career as a physician negotiating contracts on behalf of myself and other physicians. I’m sick of the gender pay gap and am coaching other women physicians to negotiate not only full time and part time contracts but also locum tenens contracts.
This coaching course is for you if you are interested in stepping into your power when it comes to negotiating your contract and deciding what you want in your life. This is for entrepreneurial minded women physicians that want to take back control of their lives by utilizing the system instead of being used by the system.

Dr. Geeta Arora is dual board certified in Internal medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine. She has practiced as a locum tenens hospitalist for over 10 years. In that time she has worked with 16 locums companies, 17 hospitals, 8 telemedicine companies and has negotiated over 90 contracts on behalf of physician colleagues. She is dedicated to lifting up women physicians and residents to make sure no one is saying yes to low pay. She strongly believes that if you say yes to low pay, everyone gets hurt because the system feels it is okay to pay low salaries and low hourly wages.
