Orthopedists ($558,000), plastic surgeons ($536,000) and cardiologists ($525,000) accounted for the top three, the news outlet noted. The results are based on a survey of 7,000 physicians across 30 specialties conducted between October and January.
Radiologists saw their pay rise 3%—alongside cardiologists, internal medicine specialists and general surgeons—since the last Medscape poll. Meanwhile, physical medicine and rehab specialists saw the largest year-over-year gains at 11%, followed by neurologists (10%) and nephrologists (9%).
