May want to check out what academic medoncs are paid. There's a thread on SDN. Those really serious research medoncs, who are at the mothership and are in clinic 2.5 days/week while doing hardcore research are probably not making much.It is standard for a (junior) rad onc to be in clinic at least 4 days a week. Every other academic surgeon or med onc is 3 days tops (usually less). We do not value oursleves enough.
Truth is, I don't know, but it does seem to me (from what I've heard) that there is a big disparity in pay in medonc for PP vs community academic medonc vs mothership (true academic) medonc, with significant reductions in pay as you decrease clinical responsibility and increase time for research/teaching.
In radonc, this is less clear to me. Not clear to me that the satellite doc with no chance at meaningful academic advancement is making much more than their mothership colleagues. I actually think they should.
Am I wrong?
