Are Hem/Onc docs paid less than hospitalists in general?

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 work 3 days a week and make about 50% more than the hospitalists here who do a 7/7.

So...no. At least in general.

Are there some hospitalists out there making more than some oncolgists out there (controlling for geography and practice structure)? Sure. But it's not the norm.

Are you sure your friend wasn't saying that hospitalists are paid better than Hem/Onc fellows?
