Like I said "it varies with your practice size, and geographical area". I know of an OB/GYN who made Net $450,000 on 03' but the mean is supposed to be $280,000. It all depends.

By the way, what is compesation?


Table 1. Total compensation of physicians by specialty, 2002
Anesthesiology
$306,964
Surgery, general
255,438
Obstetrics/gynecology
233,061
Psychiatry
163,144
Internal medicine
155,530
Pediatrics/adolescent medicine
152,690
Family practice (without obstetrics)
150,267

Thanks for those numbers. Where did you get those....I've had trouble finding good numbers on psychiatry.

My bro is a med/peds and nets about 240k. He has a private practice in a rural community in Louisiana. He also has an affiliation with the hospital there and has to do rounds every morning before opening his office. He only works Monday-Thursday though and has call every 3rd weekend. Sounds pretty good to me.

He just bought a small string of doctor offices (like a small strip mall center w/ 6-8 offices) and is leasing them out to other MDs. That's seems to be were the REAL money is. Go figure.

Yep, the point in earning money as an MD is so you can buy real-estate,

Being an MD is just more fulfilling than being an accountant. 8)
