TL;DR: The cumulative risk of facing a malpractice claim is high in all specialties, although most claims do not lead to payments to plaintiffs, and there is substantial variation in the likelihood of malpractice suits and the size of indemnity payments across specialties.

TL;DR: Elderly hospitalized patients treated by female internists have lower mortality and readmissions compared with those cared for by male internists, and these findings suggest that the differences in practice patterns between male and female physicians, as suggested in previous studies, may have important clinical implications for patient outcomes.

TL;DR: Among physicians with faculty appointments at 24 US public medical schools, significant sex differences in salary exist even after accounting for age, experience, specialty, faculty rank, and measures of research productivity and clinical revenue.

TL;DR: Wide variation in rates of opioid prescribing existed among physicians practicing within the same emergency department, and rates of long‐term opioid use were increased among patients who had not previously received opioids and received treatment from high‐intensity opioid prescribers.

TL;DR: There were sex differences in academic faculty rank among physicians with faculty appointments at US medical schools, with women substantially less likely than men to be full professors, after accounting for age, experience, specialty, and measures of research productivity.
