Medscape released an infographic based off of their most recent compensation survey.  It goes over most of the points I covered in my post on Monday.  But this is a little bit more visually appealing.  :)  Enjoy.

Medscape has finally released the results of their massive 2013 survey.  They’ve been doing this for the past 3 years and the results are always interesting.  The data comprises information from 21,878 physicians across 25 medical specialties regarding the 2012 fiscal year.  I cherry picked some key points I thought you might find interesting :

• The 3 top earning specialties this year are the same as last years : orthopedic surgery ($405,000), cardiology ($357,000), and radiology ($349,000).
• Endocrinology and Oncology were the only specialties who had a decrease in income.
• Roughly half of physicians feel fairly compensated and half don’t.
• Concierge and Cash Only practices are on the rise (albeit a slow one) but joining ACOs jumped up from 3% to 16%.
• 23% of doctors will drop insurers who pay poorly.
• 71% of doctors spend up to 14 hours per week on paperwork.  18% spend 15-24 hours.  9% spend more than 25 hours per week.  (wow)

I think the most powerful slide for me is this one because it speaks to career satisfaction.  It’s something I value greatly and think about often.

What do you think of the survey?
