generally speaking, residencies pay about the same across hospitals, specialties, and regions, and it's about 40K-45K. That said, UCSF and Stanford Anesthesiology programs pay about 50-55K via subsidies from departments. There's a private IM program in Minneapolis that pays about 70K with moonlighting incorporated into the program, but this is being folded into the U of MN program, so I suspect this will end. I had a friend that went into podiatry and made about 60K during residency. Of course, there's always moonlighting. Surgical residents during their lab years can gross >100K.

As for the least hours (and, thus, the highest pay per hour), my brief experience has been that psych, PM&R, FP, some ER programs, and derm have shorter hours than most other specialties.

1. Dermatology - 40 hours/week for 40K
2. ER/Anesthesiology/Rads - because of moonlighting opportunities
3. Derm and Path

Uh...because this is how you'll choose your career?

Really?

Are you in medical school yet? Have you considered business?
No offense, but if you are even thinking seriously about a career in medicine, you may want to consider Psychiatry.
