How much does a resident cardiologist make?
It depends on the year, and also on the hospital in which they work. Not to be a stickler, but a resident cardiologist doesnt exist. First, a cardiologist must do a three year RESIDENCY in internal medicine, and then they do a FELLOWSHIP in cardiology. Fellows typically make a little more than residents (who average about $43,000 nationwide) at around $50,000 a year. Keep in mind that during this time 70-80 hour weeks are NOT uncommon!!!!! So that really boils down to a terrible hourly wage. However, after those years of training it isn't uncommon for cardiologists to make between 250k-400k. The message here is it is all about delayed gratification. Keep in mind that by the time you finish training it is a total of 13 YEARS of "school" after high school!!!
