Survey of Surveys : MD Salaries 2008 (USA)
Various professional organizations & recruiting agencies publish results of doctor incomes each year, like you might have seen on this blog, and their figures differ a lot at times - why ? Coz' they all have a different pool of physician-mix that they get their data from, like academic, practice owners, group practices, etc.

Modern Healthcare published a compilation of such 2008 surveys - which can certainly qualify for "Mother of all surveys" ..Lol, somewhat like a meta=analysis of various research studies looking at the same research question.

Post Your Comment !Digital Doc..Thanks for the blog.I have a Q.The salary that modernhealthcare.com is showing,is that for all doctors irrespective of their visa status i.e H1b,J1,Permanent resident??Because I heard that J1 waiver jobs usually donot offer good salary,infact doctors are forced to work for a low salary.
You might be talking in reference to the J-1 waiver abuse story in Nevada, which is now fixed after the state started losing J1-waiver docs over the story. By law, J1-waiver docs are required to be paid at the same rates as American counterparts hired for the same position. The salaries will be not be low because of the J1 fact, but could be low because its a low-healthcare area with not many services. But overall, salaries are competetive. It will be for 3 years anyways and then the docs move out to green-card sponsoring employers in larger areas
You've got a typo in your derm figure in the article. I think you mean 385, not 285
yea ! Thanks, corrected :D
Hi digitaldoc !!! Thanks for giving such figures. They really help when we are working are ass out for getting into a residency programs.
hi digitaldoc...
i just have one question....i hav been going through a lot of such surveys, but am confused as to whether pediatric cardilogy salaries would come under cardiology or pediatrics....can u plz direct me to any link if thre is any...
That should be separate and not included in either - pediatrics would usually mean general pediatrics.
As per Cejka Search, Pediatric cardiology ranged from $200,000 to $300,000 in 2008
hi digitaldoc,
are these salaries reflects the gross income or the net income (if you open up your own practice, you have to pay for overheads and expenses). thanks
There is no mention of how much range does a Bone Marrow Transplant Surgeon earn in USA?
Do you have a salary range for endocrinology and nephrology?
