[anbuitachi]

Anyone know of any major studies that studies physician salary trend in the past like 50 yrs or so? We've all heard ppl say that physician salaries have dropped a lot in the past decades, but Ive never seen any study on it. Anyone?

Doesn't medscape have around a 1% response rate?

To help you figure out the salaries in today's dollar value use this calculator http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl

Here, you can find some information about the average salaries for selected fields in 1996-1997 http://www.acpinternist.org/archives/1998/11/stagnant.htm

For some fields, there is an increase and for others there's a decrease. On average, salaries remained the the same.

So have CT surgery and general surgery. Ortho, GI, EM, and FM on the other hand have seen an increase.

I think the much more important question is the ratio of attending salary to level of student debt.

Considering that was back in 1997, this might help in the conversion: http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm
