ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON SALARIES
An Orthopedic Surgeon fixes broken and ailing bones.A single sweep of your eye on the figures below are enough to convince that bones are big money!
Here are sample mid-career, annual base salaries :
A.
It ain't too easy for International Medical graduates, especially who need US visas, to land a orthopedics position. Most programs will need you to do a preliminary year - and usually visa for a single year is not always sponsored (green card holders / Citizen IMGs) obviously have an advantage here). And ofcourse, American Medical Graduates prefer the field (it's highly satisfying paying) !
NOTE: Salaries here are the 50th Percentile Salaries and may apply to mid-career levels - the lower percentile salaries (for fresh physicians) may actually be lower by 30,000- 40,000 $

Post Your Comment !I have heard that orthopedic spine surgeons in Orange County can make 800,000 to 1.7 million dollars!
Thats just Wrong! Doctors should Not be getting paid that much! I feel the people who want to get into orthro, urology, derm, etc are money hungry. That is why those specialties are hard to get into...Help people my ASS!!!
Well Jeremy i must say that i believe regardless of whether those types of surgeons want to help people or not, a pay of that amount is little compensation to what a person after 12+ additional years of schooling upon highschool deserves
Yeah, let's give all the money to the professional athletes instead. They deserve that and then some, right?
What training is required after med school to become an orthopedic surgeon?
After Medical School, apply for a Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program, which is a 5-year program
