Anyone know where I can find a chart of adoctor's salary/specialization and hrs of work for each type of residency? I remember seeing reading something awhile ago, but forgot the site.

If you mean while in residency, check <a href="http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/2997.html" target="_blank">FREIDA Online</a> for specific residencies. For post-residency physcian salaries, just do a search. There are many lists. Here is one: <a href="http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/2997.html" target="_blank">Physician Search</a>

This site is a good one for most specialties. A lot of data on most, with pay break downs for dif parts of the country and dif ages. Also has bar graphs that give you an idea of how doctors in each area rate their job.

There's a chart with this current article available on InfoTrac:

American Medical News, Oct 22, 2001 v44 i40 p1
Surging demand for specialists spurs salary hikes. Jay Greene.

A good, though somewhat dated article explaining how these salaries are compiled is: "How Much Are Physicians Making?" Modern Healthcare, July 11, 1994, p. 43(5). Gives salary ranges for anesthesiology, radiology, noninvasive cardiology, emergency medicine, family practitioners, internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry, pediatrics, ob/gyn, urology and general surgery. The wide ranges are due to different methodologies and samples.

If you're going into private practice, it's all about your patient base. If you're an interventional cardiologist, it doesn't matter that it took you 7 years of training to get where you are. If you don't have a large patient base or don't get a lot of consults from other physicians for procedures such as angiograms, angioplasties, etc, then you're not going to be making much money period.
