Answer 3

This depends on the field of practice, area of practice, and amount of time in practice, among other things. On average, in the United States, across non-surgical specialties, the average is between 150-200,000 dollars per year.

Keep in mind, this is pre-tax (and most physicians are in the highest tax bracket). Many physicians also have to pay for their own benefits out of this salary (including health insurance, retirement fund, malpractice insurance, etc, that are covered by many other jobs). In actuality, the usable income a physician sees is much less than this number. This is partly why some physicians have converted to a cash only concierge practice, and also why some physicians have been forced to leave their practice.

It has been said for many years, that if you are going into medicine for the money, you are better off with any number of other jobs. I read an article recently where it takes a physician 17-18 years to catch up to a UPS delivery driver's earnings over that same period of time, given the delayed income (at least 8 years) and huge amount of debt most physicians are starting with (I have over 150 thousand dollars in student loan debt right now).
