I apologize for asking such a direct q, but I recently learned that neurologists can do procedures which I find fascinating, and I began to wonder how that might affect compensation.
I understand that compensation is extremely variable and predicting compensation of future neurologists is a bit of a fool's errand. I also want to make clear that compensation isn't anywhere near the top priority for me. However, I am curious if the compensation of interventional neurologists who spend their time mostly (like 60%) doing procedures is higher than a general clinic-only neurologist?
I also understand that doing 60% procedures may not be realistic for an interventional neurologist, but if one were to do the arithmetic: revenue for most common NIR procedures x 60% of annual working time + revenue of clinic x 40% of annual working time - rough estimate overhead costs = how much in terms of a rough ball park?
The idea of neurology - which already has the most interest aspects of medicine to me personally - also being a procedural specialty is pretty interesting. I am hoping to shadow an interventional neurologist to learn more about the subspecialty but I was curious about compensation and thought this forum would be a better setting for a naiive question xD
