I don't know about the fellowship question, which I'd like to know the answer to, but here is compensation info from AAMC's careers in medicine:

Clinical
Low
(25th Percentile) Median High
(75th Percentile)

1 - 2 Years in Specialty N/A $157,494 N/A
All Physicians $156,870 N/A $240,192

I don't quite understand what you just posted. Can you reformat, or post a link to your source?

You can get the numbers from the last post. The poster was just trying to demonstrate that neurology isn't one of the higher-paying specialties. (Of course, there are very wealthy neurologists out there. It's just that on average, neurology doesn't pay as well as other specialties)

I'm not really sure what fellowships neurology residents pursue but I do know these 4 are available: Child Neurology, Clinical Neurophysiology, Neuromuscular Medicine, Pain Medicine.

If money is your thing, I believe the highest earning potential lies in pain medicine.

This was from AAMC careers in medicine website (https://services.aamc.org/careersinmedicine/). You need a password from your school to log in.

What I posted above was the 25th percentile, median, and 75 percentile of the earnings in clinical and academic neurology. To summarize, the range is from 108K to 240K, with the median being about 160K.

You can find out more about fellowhips at the academy of neurology (http://www.aan.com/students/awards/fellowship.cfm). There are tons.

You should never choose a specialty based on money. You should do something you enjoy and love. In all specialties the ability to make money is quite reachable. Remember that very few people can ever even earn $200K.

Also there are a lot more fellowships for neuro than 4. Sleep medicine and interventional neurology being 2 of the more lucrative fields.

The latter being a very, very well paid field.

also fellowships in neuro -onc (not at too many institutions right now); and also neuro-intensive care (very cool!)

There is also neuro-immunology (mostly MS) fellowship, it too pays very well.

Another question:
I got step 1: 92-227 step 2: 91-224 step 2CS pass, step 3 about to do..
do I have a chance of getting in.
I am also writing a publication in neuroimaging...

Your question (sorry to say) is ridiculous! Getting in to where? What school? And even if you told us what school, how the heck can anyone tell you your chances? Just apply broadly and widely.

Neurology is not competitive.

Let's face it - Neuro is just soooooooo friggin' cool!

Though not 'mainstream':
Peripheral Neurology
Autonomic Neurology www.mayoclinic.org/neurology-rst/autoneurogroup.html
ALS (may be clumped into neuromuscular)
Not to mention Neurological research and its 'subspecialties'.

Neuro IS cool!

About how much do those who specialize in sleep medicine or interventional neurology make?

How long are the fellowships for each of these subspecialties?
