Interesting presentation. Wonder where he got the salary info from...seems much higher than any numbers I've come across.

Liquidice...thanks for the presentation.

I think my take home is choose a subspeciality which you love...and not for financial incentive. TONS of people going into PM&R right now as an avenue into pain...but Pain reimbursements really can take a hit in the coming years and the more PCM generalist Physiatrists can see a boom.

Those numbers are in line with 2012 real life, especially in electrodiagnostic medicine heavy practices like Dr. Braddom's. That said, 2014 is a completely different animal, and salaries are much lower.

I think he overstates the flexibility of the field. The jobs are becoming less flexible over time as we lose ground to hospitals buying up practices. A lot of them look like this: "comfortable managing both spine/pain patients, and should have basic proficiency managing opiate medication."
