An article from The DO reviews a Medscape report on average salaries of residents (and which fields pays highest)
What residents are getting paid in 2017 - The DO
While it's good to know for incoming residents, I think reporting which fields makes more is deceiving since resident salary is based on institution and PGY level, not specialty. A PGY6 neurosurgery resident and PGY6 cardiology fellow at the same institution will be paid the same. A PGY4 sports medicine fellow (former family medicine resident) will be paid the same as a PGY4 pulmonary-critical care fellow.
But an interesting article nonetheless. The salaries are much higher than what I made as a resident/fellow (which is reassuring - you won't be in a position to negotiate salary or raises)
An interesting side note - 83% of residents feel their compensation doesn't adequately address the number of hours that they work. I thought it would be closer to 100% .... interesting
Resident salaries are better than postdoc (although not sure if it is still higher if you view it as in terms of per hour worked, but hopefully the postdoc didn't graduate with a ton of loans from graduate school)
