Salary transparency data

[desertpod8]

I saw this on Reddit yesterday, now there’s data from more than 20 podiatrist in the last 24 hours. The site seems to breakdown pay structure / benefits really well, and may help with those looking to negotiate. In order to see listed salaries, you have to provide your own data first. Hope this helps!

For podiatry, there’s two groups of data - surgical vs non surgical

The Website is:

Brother we were told in school the average pod salary a decade ago was 250k and now despite inflation it still isn’t

Gotta love the humble-bragging from some of these entries. I guess some of the entries are true if you have to associate them with an NPI which is nice, but I'm hoping that there's a way to wash out some of the more egregious outliers from this data.

 

[Adam Smasher]

Don't get me wrong, happy to see some people out there getting their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But this seems not very different (methodologically) from Barry Block's annual PM News survey with ~100 respondents

Someone reported 1.5 million? If true it’s gotta be someone who owns multiple practices with associates or doing something sketchy like grafts

And this is where a lot of "salary" surveys break down. The question we want answered is how much money are you making practicing podiatry. If you own lots of satellite offices and have associates generating income for you, or if you make a ton of money in royalties from an implant system you've designed, or if you star in a reality tv show about podiatry, that's all wonderful but not useful to the rest of us.

Highest I've seen was 800 ish take home.
Doctor worked their butt off and was established with a multispecialty.
Outliers exists, but not common.

I know a few guys on here who also make very good money.

Again, doesn't mean you are guaranteed that income with no effort upon graduation.

More survey results under the foot and ankle surgery category

 

[MortonExtension]

people who are chronically online on podiatry forums/reddit I bet are more likely to have higher podiatry salaries than those podiatrists who are not IMO. If you care enough to read and post about podiatry everyday you’re more than likely someone who cared in school/residency/ and cared when finding a higher paying job.

Also salaries are so location dependent. New York City Vs Mississippi for a 200k salary… come on folks. Big difference. A lot of podiatry is in these higher paying urban areas

Update: ortho group podiatrists are pulling up

This seems more realistic.

 

[dtrack22]

This seems more realistic.

It is essentially in line with MGMA data for hospital employed podiatrists

Where's all the DPMs making far less than 300k?? Aka the vast majority of us

Podiatrists | Data USA

Podiatrists are most often employed by the Offices of other health practitioners industry. The average yearly wage for Podiatrists was $177,186 in 2022.

datausa.io

This website uses data from the census bureau. I was going to post a thread about it a few months back but I decided not to when I thought it looked like it was omitting a lot of datapoints, only counts 10k podiatrists in the workforce. Some of the findings are hard to believe (they claim male podiatrists out earn female podiatrists by 70k). Still, I think it's a more accurate picture of what's happening in podiatry than what they're doing on reddit.

Or delivering fresh baked cookies to PCPs and driving the diabetic shoe delivery van

Gender pay gap is more likely from moms cutting down on hours or becoming part time, at least from what I’ve seen.

 

[Hybrocure]

One major flaw here is no sane associate is going to expose their NPI and announce their income for the sake of this poll. And associates are the majority of podiatrists.

And they ain’t making a 400k average lol

 

[Retrograde_Nail]

Exactly. This is a nice tool but none of the associates who should be posting their data will.

 

[podwho]

I added mine. So much self selection bias in the average. Theres probably 15k pods in the country? I would hope most of them are over 250k considering most hospitals have a pod. State + VA has employed pods. Multispecialty and ortho groups have pods. Academic centers and residency directors..all 600 of them..have pods who all do well.

320k total comp (which is probably on the high end) for a surgical specialty is weak. However still is nice to see many out there are doing well.
