It's Near to impossible for imgs to match into Canadian Resident positions

Interesting video. It's worth noting that some specialties can make a lot supplementing their government billing with additional products and services. A few examples include Dermatologists and cosmetic treatments/skincare products, and Orthopaedic Surgeons selling custom knee braces (DJO, Breg, etc) at $2500 each. Both of these are specialties that are really hard to get into in Canada, because nobody wants to retire partially because of how lucrative they are.

@nxtgenmd

Agreed :) There are multiple ways to supplement physician income and a few that depend on your specialty. As for things being hard to get into... its a bit more complex than that for the most part. Competition can be broken down between "matching to a residency program," vs. "finding an actual job." As an example, plastic surgery residency is a more "competitive program" statistically than general surgery residency. However, when it comes to finding a job, it is much easier for a plastic surgeon usually. In speaking with program directors and other staff, the issues of residency program spacing come down to funding, relative necessity and even input from the specialty specific regulatory bodies. Also, may surgeons and other doctors that I've met choose to stay in their fields well into their 60s and beyond because they believe that "the retired life wouldn't suit them." - to provide a direct quote. Hope that bit of insight is interesting :)

Is there any talk in med school about preferred provinces to work in? I assume BC would be high on that list due to weather. As a canadian who has lived in many provinces, I'm curious about why the healthcare in the lower mainland seems so ..rushed. Sub par to what I'm used to. Is there any talk about this?

@nxtgenmd

3 жыл бұрын

At least for us, there's been no such presentation as of yet. But in speaking with other students, BC is high on the list of places people want to move to work. The problem with working in BC is that physicians there (depending on specialty) often need to consider the lost opportunity cost. Salaries for family doctors are considerably lower than in Ontario, and given BC's government, taxes are also significantly higher. So while it is a beautiful place to live, it is more expensive than other provinces.

650 for cardio probably accurate. That's about where radiology starts though. Rads averages 1 million in billings in alberta. As a society we need to collect accurate numbers and consider if this is worth it.

Agree. I've become aware of the lack of information that exists even for medical students that will soon be committing to a specialty for the rest of their lives.

@@nxtgenmd Yeah I get the hesitation for docs to share their true earnings, but I suspect one reason is because we know we are making out like bandits. On the other hand, sometimes I don't think we let the public know how stressful and difficult it is to be a doc. It is difficult to put a value on the time of a public servant. It does stand to reason that the best and brightest will expect to earn accordingly as this is a primary motivator for most people.

Going into medicine soley for the purposed of making money will lead to disappointment. There are other careers that will serve you better if you just want to make money. Keep in mind that these are billing, and the physicians will take home roughly only 1/3 of their billing amount. Also the higher paying specialties have a rough job outlook, so they have to do multiple fellowships on top of their training to become competitive. The salary may be higher than the average but you won't be making that until you are 35, so the opportunity cost is HUGE!

Approximately 33% of what you bill according to the rule of thirds 🤙 however, there are also various tax advantages that you can take advantage of that can help bring the total closer to 50% depending on the situation (from what I've heard) Thanks :)

Does the rule of 1/3rd apply to employed specialists too? I mean specialists employed in either government or private institutions. Do you mean a specialist earning $300k actually goes home with $100k

@nxtgenmd

3 жыл бұрын

The rule of thirds includes income, overhead and taxes. Taxes are essentially fixed for high earners and represent about 46% of your income over $220,000 in Ontario (33% federal + 13% provincial) (although some legal tax avoidance strategies can be used to try and reduce this as much as possible). Overhead also varies from specialty to specialty (ophthalmologists report roughly 40% while EM doctors report 13% for example). We don't get paid in medical school but from doctors that I've spoken with, it seems like the rule of thirds does hold true across multiple specialties for the most part. In your example, someone billing 300K per year would indeed end up with much less to take home but the exact figure would depend on how much overhead their practice requires to sustain. Specialists tend to bill over 300K though if they're working full-time here in Ontario 🤙

@omgzfuup

3 жыл бұрын

The rule of thirds is not all that accurate for specialists. For FM the overhead is typically about 1/3, but it is less for specialists. One reason is that they do more hospital based work, which means those staff expenses are already paid for. The make more, so the fraction they need for the office is less. Some specialists have no overhead at all. Ophthal and rads can have high overhead, but they over report the overhead costs.
