How much money do pediatric oncologists earn?
The salaries for pediatric oncologists are typically lower than those of adult oncologists for a number of reasons. First, there are far fewer pediatric oncologists in private practice compared to adult oncologists. This has to do with the fact that there are far fewer pediatric oncology patients compared to adult oncology patients. As such, most pediatric oncologists are affiliated with and/or employed by an academic medical center. Depending on your role (clinical vs research) and your position (non-tenure track, assistant vs. assoc. vs. full professor), your salary will vary. Most of the entry salaries for the people I know coming out of fellowship are between $125-150k a year.
