Are Specalist under-reporting Salary on Doximity map???

[psychMDhopefully]

The map is supposedly self reported salaries right? It has the average for Cardiologist at 400k, and the Average for GI at 380k

IM-250k
EM 320k
heme/onc 325k
pulm 300k

Is specialist pay dropping or are people under reporting? Always thought specialist made multiples of what IM makes.

Sources like Doximity and Medscape are very unreliable for information regarding compensation as they rely on self reported information by individual physicians. Sources like AMGA and MGMA are much more reliable and accurate but the full reports are behind a paywall. Although with some thorough Google searching you can find parts of the report for free.

They're keeping expectations low so that when they give you a **** contract and steal money from your paycheck to pay for hardwood floors for their executive suite, you won't feel as bad.

I think 300-400 is around average for the higher paying subspecialties. Remember there are those who do academic medicine and those salaries are lower than those in private practice.

Seems pretty reasonable as a median number.

Reporting to a service such as Doximity may yield significant sampling bias. I haven't looked at the data, and excuse me for generalizing, but I highly suspect those reporting are fresh out of fellowship.

I know its an old thread but I can't find out if it combined both academics and PP. I think if you averaged both, the numbers make sense - but then it's a really bad way to report salaries. MGMA is PP only while AAMC has academic numbers. I think you have to look at them separately based on your career choice.

MGMA data is very comprehensive and includes academics. It’s not private only.

Interesting. But the data is separated right? I've only seen the PP numbers.

The overall compensation medians that are most referenced on here include academics.
