Does anyone have a list of Peds specialist salaries? Tried to google it but I'm having trouble...
On the flip side, physicians working in pediatrics were among the lowest-paid in 2017. In fact, the four medical specialties with the lowest average annual compensation all dealt with pediatrics.
The 10 medical specialties with the lowest average annual salary in 2017 are:
- Pediatric infectious disease ($192K)
- Pediatric hematology and oncology ($209K)
- Pediatric endocrinology ($215K)
- Pediatrics ($222K)
- Preventive medicine ($232K)
- Medicine/Pediatrics ($232K)
- Family Medicine ($241K)
- Geriatrics ($245K)
- Medical Genetics ($247K)
- Pediatric Gastroenterology ($255K)
Peds subspecialists are hurt by 2 things -- 1) you are tied into academics for many jobs which lowers salary and 2) high medicaid population.
That being said, making 225-300k per year isn't bad at all if you like treating kids. Let's not get ridiculous people -- it's not like peds specialists are making only 100k a year.
Peds anesthesia, Peds ortho, peds spine, peds cardiac surgery, peds surgery, peds ent, and peds urology are all well compensated.
Peds cardiac and spine surgeons often earn 7 figures.
