I don't know if this is still true but when I was an MS4 in a UC medical school, one of the things my class did before we graduated was have a brief presentation on malpractice insurances.

Contrary to popular belief, malpractice insurance for anesthesiologists was ~ $14K/yr - same as internists - although I'm sure this will depend on the region you practice and how many times you get sued and lose and so forth.

btw - i'm a US grad with low USMLE scores who didn't match into gas - i'm still trying but it just isn't working out - any suggestions - i cringe at the thought of doing IM or FP - never mind the money - i love anesthesia

In reality, this rate is going to be a function of the environment where you practice. Some states have tort reform, others do not (those without have higher premiums). If your particular state is highly litigous (spelling?), then you will have higher premiums.

it depends on your credentialed privileges at a hospital, how many hospitals, previous litigation, etc... It ranges from a low of 15k to highs of 85k in some states/areas. It gets higher when you do more procedures (of course) - and therefore some anesthesia pain docs can pay close to 120-130k, and quite a few cardiac/pedi anesthesia folks pay on the higher range of the 15-85 scale..
