 Which doctors have the highest salary? Let's break it down. So here's a compensation report from Doximity from 2021. As you can see, the top five is dominated by surgery with number one of neurosurgery at $773,000, cardiothoracic surgeons at $684,000, orthopedic surgeons come third at $633,000, and finally plastic surgery at $556,000. Now this list is interesting because again, the top is dominated by surgeons, which requires anywhere from five to seven years, at least after residency, with plus or minus some additional training in fellowship. The earliest I can find is a radiation oncology, which requires about five years of residency, and sometimes again, people will do a one year fellowship. Cardiology is six years, a total of three years of residency and three years of fellowship after medical school, and urology is five years plus or minus fellowship. So in addition to college medical school residency and definitely some fellowship, it definitely requires a good amount to get to these positions, but as you can see, they're very well compensated.
