Hi all,
I'm currently at the end of my clinical internship, and I'll be starting a T32 research fellowship at a medical school in a large city over the summer. At the moment, my plan is to apply for a K award during the T32 and then hopefully continue on at the same place. I'm also planning to get licensed and start a small private practice to add some additional income.
My husband and I are starting to plan for the future, so I'm trying to get a realistic sense of what I can expect to be earning over the next several years. I know that T32 salaries are in the $43-45k range, but I've been having a hard time navigating the NIMH's labyrinthine website to figure out what my salary would be on a K award. Can anybody lend me insight on this?
I'm also trying to figure out realistically how much extra I could expect to make if I added a small private practice; I would probably aim to see about 5 patients/week. I know there are a lot of variables that go into this, but at this point I'm not even sure how to make a ballpark estimate. Any thoughts on this, or suggestions for resources to help figure it out, would be much appreciated.
Ideally, I would like to be making $90-$100k about 5 years from now. To those who have followed a similar career path, does that sound reasonable?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
