Hi, I am beginning my MSW in the fall and having SERIOUS doubts. I have worked in the mental healthcare field for over four years- a good deal of that time in case management roles, and I am feeling beyond burnt out. Even feeling bitter and taken advantage of by clients using our services. I’m...

Why do you want to become a Physician Assistant (PA)? Why not a nurse practitioner or physician? To help you answer this question in more depth, I’m providing a direct comparison of these three educational and professional options by focusing on three specific programs. Using information from...

Sorry if this is the wrong section to discuss this topic in- I didn't see anything else that seemed more 'off topic' than any other ones. I know, it's quite taboo to discuss salaries in the medical profession. I 100% agree that people going into the medical field should do it out of passion...

Hi I know this is super specific, but does anyone have any benchmarks (or even a guess/estimate) for the first-year salary one could expect in NYC/Westchester coming out of a competitive rhinology fellowship? Just curious!

How common is it to get reimbursed per unit? Is this type of pay exclusive to home health?

Hello, I am a prospective dental student and have been on the pre-med/pre-dental fence for a while now. I am going to start shadowing a general dentist next week but after doing some research on dentistry, I am starting to consider some other factors as in the demand and lifestyle of a general...

hey guys, So one of the most stressful questions asked in job interviews is the 'expected pay' portion of the discussion. For me, its really difficult to evaluate my worth-so how do you evaluate and compare yourselves to the industry standard? I've discussed with recent graduates in my area...

I appreciate all the feedback and input, Thank you. My question has been answered.

I am thinking of quitting and doing locums for a bit, mainly for scheduling reasons. I keep seeing posts that locums rates are declining. Would anyone care to elaborate? Veers? Emergent? Bueller?

I don't know if I'm in the right forum or not but I'll post a thread regardless. I've recently looked into studying dentistry in Germany but only now am I looking into the salary of dentists in the country and it's rather disappointing. Is there a reason why I'm only seeing that dentists are...

Hello, the title says it all. Practice setting and work hours/week ? I am a Urologist from outside the usa

Greetings! Does anyone have any advice on the etiquette of negotiating for a higher post doc salary? I am thinking: unofficial, clinically-focused post docs. That said, I would appreciate input on other types of post docs (official, research-focused, etc.). This seems to be a gap in my program's...

Its been bothering me for some time now, perhaps someone can explain, but why aren't optometrists treated the same way medical professionals/general public treat dentists? Aren't they both parallel to each other in the sense that dentists focus on oral health and optometrists focus on visual/eye...

I heard from a current Hem/Onc fellow that hospitalists are paid higher than Hem/Onc specialists. I thought Hem/Onc had greater salaries, almost on par with Pulm/Crit and Cardiology, so I was just wondering how far was true. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was recently interviewed at a private practice orthopedic group, and to my surprise was asked point-blank, "So how much do want to make?" I was caught quite off guard (though I probably shouldn't have been), and in my moment of fluster, spat out what the previous residents' offers were. So, to...

Hello all! Sorry, for the long question, but I hope some can lend an ear and give me some insight. I have been researching Optometry for a very long time, and of particular concern is the income of ODs. The problem is, the vast majority of the stuff I have seen is American Statistics. Canadian...

Hi all, I'll start by saying that yes, I fully realize and agree that choosing a path in medicine should not be a purely or primarily income-driven decision. Please no replies saying that if this is what's important to me I shouldn't be a physician at all, etc. etc. Thanks :) That said, as I'm...

Quick question. For the Midwest (Illinois) would you consider 45 per wRvu low to be low for outpatient if you are seeing both child and adult.

Can you guys address the move toward consolidation of radiologists becoming employees of major health systems? Can this lead to centralized reading centers, where fewer radiologists cover multiple outpatient imaging sites and maybe even low volume community hospitals owned by the health system...

What are the current Hem/Onc salaries for PP in the Pacific Northwest? Is it higher than national average? I've heard Midwest offers the highest salaries, but I was wondering if the Pacific Northwest is close to that or more like the salaries in the Northeast. Thank you!

Is it true that compensation in Hem/Onc is declining? Do you see the compensation for Hem/Onc physicians going down in the future? As an IM resident planning on going into Hem/Onc, just wondering if the pay would be competitive. I see lots of figures thrown around in websites, but I am not sure...

Hey all, Just a question for my wife who is a dentist. She says at her last 2 jobs (which were both corporate) her lab fees were deducted pretax. However, now she is in private practice and they are taking her lab fees post-tax. Is this common? Thanks.

Hello, I want to get some feedback from endodontists on what their experience has been like in trying to find job right after residency. Would be great if you could mention some tips on whether you went to private practice route, corporate, or travelling endodontist and what geared you towards...

I've wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have tried to expose myself to the medical environment as much as I could (via shadowing, scribing etc). Routinely, I ask the doctors I interact with whether they are content with their decision to go into medicine, and...
