Marit Health Welcomes Dr. Amy Gottlieb and Dr. Hala Sabry to Our Clinician Advisory Board
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news at Marit Health. We’re welcoming two powerhouse physicians, Dr. Amy Gottlieb and Dr. Hala Sabry, to our Clinician Advisory Board 🎉
These women have built incredible careers around the same mission that drives us: creating a more equitable, transparent, and supportive world for clinicians.
Meet Dr. Amy Gottlieb – A Leader in Fair Pay
A physician, author, and executive leader with decades of experience in academic medicine, Amy S. Gottlieb, MD, is a nationally recognized expert in strategies that drive fair pay and professional opportunity. Her innovative approach explores how workplace practices impact career advancement and compensation, enabling organizations to create tailored frameworks that are mission-aligned, sustainable, and provide access to experience, performance, and pay.
Dr. Gottlieb has led the national conversation about how to close the gender pay gap in medicine through her publications, speaking engagements, professional society leadership, and on-the-ground experience with a wide array of organizations. In 2021 she published Closing the Gender Pay Gap in Medicine: A Roadmap for Healthcare Organizations and the Women Physicians Who Work for Them, the first assessment of how cultural expectations of women and traditional compensation methodology in medicine work together to perpetuate the gender pay gap.
Dr. Gottlieb has helped steward several compensation initiatives for the Association of American Medical Colleges and has served as chair of the organization’s Group on Women in Medicine and Science Steering Committee. She has also chaired the Society of General Internal Medicine’s Women and Medicine Commission and founded its Career Advising Program, a nationwide sponsorship initiative, for which she received the 2020 Elnora M. Rhodes Service Award symbolizing the highest level of service to the organization.
Dr. Gottlieb’s prior institutional roles include Professor and inaugural Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs, Advancement, and Inclusion at University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine; Professor and Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs at UMass Chan Medical School-Baystate, and Chief Faculty Development Officer at Baystate Health, a large, diversified health system in Western MA.
Dr. Gottlieb earned her undergraduate degree in economics from Harvard and worked in corporate finance before beginning her medical career. She obtained her MD from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and completed a residency in General Internal Medicine at Brown.
Dr. Gottlieb is currently a full-time independent consultant serving as Principal and Founder of Grays West Advisors.
Meet Dr. Hala Sabry – A Force for Community and Change
Dr. Hala Sabry is an emergency medicine physician, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized leader in physician community building. She is the founder of Physician Moms Group (PMG) — the largest community of women physicians in the world, and has spent more than a decade developing networks that drive collaboration, advocacy, and measurable change in healthcare.
Dr. Sabry has spent her career bringing people together by building connections, breaking stigma, and reminding physicians that they don’t have to navigate this system alone. Her voice has sparked national conversations about gender equity, burnout, and the real-life pressures of being both a clinician and a caregiver.
At Marit, we see Dr. Sabry as a guiding force in strengthening our own community of clinicians. Her experience in creating safe spaces for support and advocacy aligns perfectly with our mission to bring more honesty, collaboration, and belonging to healthcare.
Beyond founding PMG, Dr. Sabry is formally trained as a community organizer and has built digital communities for major organizations, including Fortune 500 companies and leading social media platforms. She specializes in creating psychologically safe spaces that foster engagement, connection, and collective action.
Dr. Sabry is also the creator of National Women Physicians Day, a nationally recognized holiday and movement that elevates gender equity and representation in medicine. Her work has helped advance conversations around compensation transparency, professional identity, and the systemic challenges faced by women and underrepresented physicians.
In her role at Marit, Dr. Sabry will advise on community strategy and physician engagement. Her focus will be on empowering clinicians to understand their market value and strengthening the collective voice required to advance salary transparency and equity across healthcare.
“Salary transparency is not just about data - it’s about power,” said Dr. Sabry. “When physicians have community and access to real information, they gain agency. That is how we create equity, not only for individuals, but for the profession.”
Together, Dr. Gottlieb and Dr. Sabry bring wisdom, authenticity, and deep experience to Marit's mission. Their voices remind us that real change in medicine happens when clinicians come together, lift each other up, and refuse to settle for less than fairness.
We’re beyond grateful to have them on board, and we can’t wait to see the impact we’ll create together.
