Every year the Doximity physician compensation report answers the simple question: how much money do doctors make? The issue with this physician survey is that they lump several subspecialties into one big group. For instance, Doximity only shows 'cardiology' salary instead of more accurately explaining that 'cardiology' includes (1) interventional cardiology, (2) electrophysiology, (3) advanced heart failure, and (4) non-invasive cardiology. There are even other subspecialties within cardiology but those are the 'big four'. The same is true within other specialties that contain several subspecialties.

In this video I explain differences in physician compensation based on:
1. Subspecialty within a specialty
2. Region you work/live in
3. Adjusted pay to cost of living
4. Pay during training as a resident and fellow
5. Why I didn't pursue subspecialty training
6. My thoughts after my first year working as an attending physician
