thanks for the reply...but those salaries seem a little bit on the lower end..i mean i have read that pain fellows/sci/msk can earn as much as >200,000 is that inaccurate or does it just depend on geographic area/isolated instances,etc? how is the west coast in general?
I agree with the general salary ranges posted. I think that the trick is to be "well-rounded." The demand these days is for outpatient PM&R, but I've heard that inpatient jobs are plentiful and going begging. The salaries in the inpatient arena are beginning to bump a little. Personally, my ideal situation would be a small inpatient practice (say medical directorship of a small inpatient rehab unit) combined with an outpatient MSK/pain practice. The inpatient side of things provides steady income and the MSK/pain side can be developed to reflect one's own personal interests skills and optimal payor mix.
You mentioned that the market is poor in the East Coast. Which states, specifically in the East, have a poor market? It seems like NY would be one of them, especially with the disparity of the quality of PM&R programs within the state.
