From the time that women have been able to work, they have been paid far less than their male employees. So the main question I have is how can the gender pay gap between female and male physician assistants decrease? I also want to find out what the pay gap is in different countries to get a different lens and how much the pay gap has lessened over the years. Throughout this research process I know I will need medical journals, academic reports on medicine, statistics, and proof from female and male physician assistants. I think the obstacles I could run into while I am conducting research is an overflux of material and not knowing what to use and what not to use. 

This topic intrigues me because this is the career path I am going for. I want to know why women get paid less in this profession. I care heavily about the gender pay gap because it does not make sense to me one bit. Why should women get paid less than men when they could do the exact thing men are doing. In this profession as well as every other profession that exists. I hope to mainly reach the Pre-PA students, actual PAs, or even anyone in the medical field. This topic can go for every career, not only PA, which is why I believe everyone should be intrigued. There could be answers in this paper that solve unanswered questions in another profession.
