10 LOWEST Paid Doctor Specialties

When considering which doctor specialty to pursue, many premeds and medical students place a heavy emphasis on annual salary and compensation. What they often fail to consider though is the average number of hours worked per week, translating to an hourly wage. In a previous video, we covered the top 6 specialties with the highest hourly rate. Now, let's look at the other end of the spectrum and cover the specialties making the lowest hourly rate.
As with the previous video, the average hourly wage was calculated by taking the average annual salary for each specialty and dividing it by the number of hours worked per week and the number of workweeks per year.
It is important to mention that these are averages, and variation is expected. Even within specialties, salary and weekly hours can vary widely depending on the type of practice, geography, and numerous other factors.

    Being a pediatrician sounds fun however after shadowing some I have found that the child is not only your patient but the parent is too. You have to balance the best care for your patient while also dealing with the parent and finding some middle ground for what the parents beliefs/opinions are. It's much different than working directly with a patient and not having to "code" your words.

I prefer to live simply/frugally and help people sliding-scale in the trades I've been in before, and I don't plan to ever be formally employed as a physician after residency. I'm just aiming for med school because I want to be useful to the same poor and unhoused communities I come from (thank goodness it's getting easier to go affordably or for free haha). I saw this video title and my immediate reaction was "oh good, a list that appeals to me for once!" lol. I'd really love to see more content that focuses on what we can actually ACCOMPLISH with different specialties, at SCALE. There are enough lists upon lists out there ranking specialties according to how they'll benefit the practitioner, but an appalling relative shortage of lists that talk about how much good each can do. More and more of us are going into medicine for medicine, not for money.

    @@adeptsaxophonist To be fair, I haven't argued that physicians shouldn't be well-paid; I argued that pay shouldn't be a primary motivator and that more rhetoric about medical life paths should focus on other topics besides pay. Those are completely different positions. :P And pay isn't a competition ... the bit about opposing physicians to cig company CEOs is just a weird nonsensical specious comparison that illustrates nothing, or at least if there's a clear point to make from it then I'm failing to catch it (which would certainly be precedented). I heard that sort of "degrading our profession" language when I graduated massage school and refused to set a standard hourly rate and made my suggested donation low, choosing to work sliding-scale and help whomever I could. Then I went on to earn a great deal of respect both personally and for the profession over several years of being an extremely effective ameliorative medical CMT. I enjoyed breaking down a lot of barriers, both ideologically by teaching incredulous physicians that it's an underrated complementary therapy and often not just complementary, as well as breaking down access barriers for people who didn't previously see themselves as The Type of Person Who Gets Massage due to its fake vile contrived association with luxury. After my extensive experience with homelessness and being part of some other stigmatized groups, I know a thing or two about the impact of self-perception on health outcomes; maintaining barriers to access is a great way to guarantee many millions of people not only don't experience health, but worse, _go on believing on a fundamental level that they don't deserve it._ Someone has to break that cycle. And I think it's a safe bet that it's not going to be someone whose top priority is their fcking income. So, with all due respect for your obviously benevolent intentions (and I feel a little bad that my vehemence might sound more critical of you personally than of the social phenomenon your comment represents to me -- you do seem like a kind person, I mean that!) ... I reject your advice about positions I didn't take and disagree with the judgment about my philosophies being some sort of threat to anyone or any profession's societal worth. Your criticism, gentle and sincere though it clearly is, represents perpetuation of a paradigm that I simply don't agree to be part of. I categorically reject, and consider to be downright poisonous to society, any rhetoric to the effect that anyone's generosity _ever_ devalues anyone else's expertise and skill. That notion is, I'd confidently argue, just crab-in-a-bucket competitive construct garbage that solely serves to pressure people into fake conflicts through guilt and tribalism. I will ALWAYS prioritize actual public health change and patient outcomes, which benefit EVERYONE, over preserving the fragile precious pearl-clutching ivory tower of academic elitism and sneetchery that the medical field has cowered pathetically and impotently within for so long. "We must protect the future of this elite echelon continuing to be viewed as elite" (which of course wasn't your wording, just my read of your subtext) isn't exactly a compelling cause that actually merits anyone being concerned, IMO. I'm much, much more concerned with preventing potentially fatal food poisoning among my peers without fridges/kitchens than making sure people remember to keep associating doctors with wealth. And although in general I argue anyone can care about many things at once, to me/within my moral matrix, those two causes are mutually exclusive. It seems self-evident to me that, if one wants a profession to be recognized as valuable, then the priority should clearly be using that profession to provide value.

It's something that many people appreciate, since according to my patients most doctors seem to be in a hurry and often just dish out prescriptions without apparently listening much to what they're saying.

    While this is very important information to know. However, it is so important to stress that many of the highest paying specialties have the highest burnouts and dissatisfaction despite the money, while some of the lowest paying have the highest satisfaction (Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Palliative Care, etc). The reason, partly, is that some students will simply choose a specialty they may like less because the alternative pays a lot more or they like the number of hours. And then five to ten years into it, they find it ultimately very unfulfilling even though they are able to afford a nicer car. So I am all for full transparency and people should go into it with open eyes but also think more broadly.

    Ultimately absorb what you see on medical rotations. There's a general consensus that FM is low pay. I've found the sky to be the limit. FM is not dependent on a hospital to preform the job, and has a degree of influence when it comes to who admits their patients into the hospital if they decline to admit themselves. Then you add on your team of mid-levels, and you got your own mini empire. Never mind the FMs that branch into wound care practice.

    I completely agree. Most pediatric patients are assisted by medicaid (even when they are on parents private insurance) then working with an even smaller pediatric population.. I've seen that pediatric specialties can be lower than general practice except for NICU or cardiology. But this can also depend about whether or not the physicians have their own clinical practice.

However, they also mentioned that the more the pandemic started to decline, as it is right now, their rates are going down as well.

    I'm really confused about how people are characterizing Samsung as a binary opposite to Apple these days. I've never used Apple devices but also never used Samsung either. They're just one hardware manufacturer. What matters is the operating system. Apple only puts their own OS on their own products but you can use other OSs (Android, Windows, etc.) on all sorts of hardware, not just Samsung. If you take the time to get used to different tech and explore it and learn to make it work for you then you can accomplish the same exact things on any platform (or at least nearly all of the same exact things). Now and then something is truly proprietary and contractually exclusive to one or another, but even then there are usually workarounds. And you can totally have devices operating on different platforms that cooperate together usefully if you just plan your systems well. That said, if one is looking for just ease of use and wants one's whole tech ecosystem to just match in order to minimize one's learning curve, I understand Apple is solid for that. And it does seem popular in the med school community due to having a lot of useful relevant software available. I don't like a lot of the limitations that their platforms come with and I just generally don't like a lot of things about their practices, but if one is willing to spend the higher prices and sacrifice customizability in order to have the convenience, then it's good for that. It doesn't align with my own priorities and values but that doesn't make it bad or invalid for people with different needs.
