Current Hem/Onc salaries?

[AmiSansNom]

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 how reliable these are. What, in your opinion, would be the average pay for a private practice Hem/Onc seeing broad pathology? Just wanted to get an opinion from those currently in the field; your thoughts/opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

First year out 250-400K depending on location. After partnership or once becoming more production oriented, that should increase to 500K+. No reason to avoid Heme/Onc for concerns of declining reimbursement.

If compensation or lack thereof is a concern about going into this field, think hard about why you are choosing it. There’s a lot of tough stuff in my day to say that money doesn’t make up for but family relationships do.

There are other specialties to go into for money (not that I advocate that)...

Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for. I appreciate your response!
