"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average Income: $445,043&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Anesthesiologists are among some of the most well-compensated physicians. Anesthesiologists administer pain blocks and anesthesia to patients undergoing surgery or procedures in the hospital, outpatient surgery center, or dental office. Their income increased 3.9 percent from 2013 to 2014.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The nature of their work can be demanding and stressful. Also, anesthesiologists are obviously a key component of a good surgery department, and therefore a lot of hospital revenue depends on their performance as well as on the surgeons on staff.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There are several different types of cardiologists, and income varies accordingly. Below includes the differential from 2013 to 2014, from the MGMA&amp;amp;#39;s 2015 salary report.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Invasive cardiologist: $548,866 (&amp;amp;#43;3.3 percent)&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Interventional cardiologist: $553,890&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Noninvasive cardiologist: $476,376 (&amp;amp;#43;11.7 percent)&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Electrophysiologist: $571,508&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average Annual Income: $462,500&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Dermatology is another one of the more highly compensated specialties. Dermatology is lucrative because it entails a combination of high-paying procedures that are medically necessary (and reimbursable by insurance companies), such as skin cancer biopsies, skin conditions, etc., while also allowing doctors an opportunity to earn additional cash with aesthetic, elective procedures such as botox, fillers, laser hair removal and other lucrative optional procedures.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average Annual Income: $221,686&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Family practice physicians provide &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;bRgfP7qSGKK9BfNVv4OXKw&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/primary-care-careers-1736366&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;primary care&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; and are not as well reimbursed as many of their specialist physician counterparts. The above figure represents an increase of nearly five percent from the previous year, and is the average income for a family medicine doctor who also practices obstetrics (delivers babies) as part of his or her practice. Without OB, the pay drops slightly to about $207,916. And the annual income drops further if the doctor only practices on an outpatient basis, to about $193,390.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average annual income: $504, 492&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gastroenterologists have training in internal medicine, plus 2-3 additional years of fellowship training in gastroenterology and hepatology, studying diseases of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and colon, as well as the liver, pancreas, and spleen. According to the MGMA, income for gastroenterologists declined 1.2 percent from 2013 to 2014.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average annual income: $188,885&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Geriatricians are primary care doctors who specialize in treating elderly patients.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average annual income: $441,507&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Oncologists diagnose and treat malignancies (cancers) of tissue and blood. According to the MGMA&amp;amp;#39;s 2015 salary report, the annual income for oncologists increased 4.9 percent in 2014 over the previous year.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Average annual income: $198,091&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Palliative care is a relatively new specialty. &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/what-jobs-are-available-in-hospice-1736324&amp;quot; data-inlink=&amp;quot;kONO5iaDmIOaBcsdeidhTA&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Palliative care&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; physicians specialize in treating terminally ill patients.&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average annual income: $264,838&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Hospitalists are &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;dI-HBoMvFiyLOF0ZYSIztQ&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/internal-medicine-physician-career-profile-1736156&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;internal medicine physicians&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; or family practitioners who only treat patients in a hospital setting (inpatient). As demand for hospitalists has increased sharply over the years, annual income for hospitalists has also grown steadily during that time. The most recent increase reported by the MGMA was 4.7 percent year over year.\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Average annual income: $269,936&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Neurologists treat disorders of the brain, spine, and nervous system.
