New gastroenterologists earn higher salaries than some with more experience in four of the biggest U.S. cities.
Figures for each group are higher for 2022 than they were for 2021, per Medscape's physician salary explorer. But for groups in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and Dallas, newer gastroenterologists saw the biggest increases.
"If you're a gastroenterologist coming out of fellowship, you're in a good spot," Michael Weinstein, MD, president and CEO at Silver Spring, Md.-based Capital Digestive Care, told Becker's. "You are sitting in the catbird seat; you have lots of options. The salary and benefits that are being offered are significantly greater than what they were just two or three years ago."
Cities were included for regional representation, and for ease of comparison with the 2021 list.
