hey everyone,
So I'm doing research into lots of different healthcare fields right now and finally got to podiatry. One question i had was in the salary/expected income of pods. Ive done many searches and it seems that there is a wide range of numbers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics place podiatrists making around 120k/year, which seems a bit low for a physician who does surgery http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/podiatrists.htm. I figure I would start my search here because its a governmental website and its hard to hide income figures from Uncle Sam. Do these figures also include resident podiatrists that make 40-60k/year? Is it also including unemployed and/or part time pods?
I also took a look at monster salary.com for pod salary in my area. The results showed a higher income of around 150K, but still rather low for a surgical specialty.
I also have family that are podiatrists and they said the starting offer they received from their residency hospital was 70K.
Finally, I read around on here and it seems that pods are making the big bucks, looking at 200K+ starting.
So I ask those who have done the research as well, what is the conclusion?
