MS4 here trying to decide whether or not to do peds then a GI fellowship. I've gotten conflicted reports from 2 people about pediatric gastroenterologist's salary. An attending said 150k starting for GI in academia and that can go up to ~200 with experience. The GI nurse, however, told me she heard from attendings that it can be in the range of 250-300k in academia.
I'm looking for more input. 250k would be AWESOME. I could make do with 200k. But, 150k after a 6-year residency would be disappointing. That being said, the lifestyle of pedi GI's seems legit! And it seems like working harder could earn you more?? though maybe not the case if you are salaried at an academic hospital. Thanks in advance. Would really appreciate it.
