Excellent post all around, @Steins;Gate, but from my anecdotal experience with Psych attendings and residents they are becoming paid quite well these days. The supply is dismally low for Psychiatrists and the demand for them is stratospheric. I'd like to bring attention to this forum member's (Psychiatrist just out of residency) post from last week:
He's working really hard! The earning potential is there.
I, for one, feel that the ROI on medicine has been on an upswing per MGMA reported data despite the changes brought forth by ACA.
Thanks for the clarification @OutRun ! In Canada, where I am from, it is definitely one of the lower paying specialties but there is plenty of work available.
Yeah sometimes I worry if I made a wise choice with dental (I am a D2) but I am grateful to be Canadian and go to a cheap school so I graduate debt-free. That would have been the same with medicine in Canada so I have no idea if dentistry will be the better choice for me in the future. I think both medicine and dentistry are great, just different strokes for different folks.
