My favorite part about general cardiologist salaries is that they are lower than the average cardiologist salary in the entire country. However, it is important to note that the average general cardiologist salary in the country is around $100,000. So, this means that the average cardiologist in the U.S. makes about $90,000 a year.
This is a common misconception. It’s true that, in general, cardiologists are paid more per patient than general surgeons or internists are, but this is because cardiologists make up the majority of the cardiology workforce. So, the average general cardiologist salary in the U.S. is higher than the average cardiologist salary anywhere else in the country.
This misconception is so commonplace that it can be found on many job postings as well as in many job literature. So, yes, cardiologists are paid more than other physicians, but they are paid more because they are the majority of the cardiology workforce.
It’s so easy to make this mistake when you look at the data. Cardiologists are the most common physicians in the United States, for example. Of course, in the U.S. doctors are paid more than anywhere else, but the U.S. doctors are only paid more than the average physician in a country that has a relatively high percentage of cardiologists.
Doctors in other countries make more money than the U.S. Doctor, but that’s not due to the number of doctors in other countries, it’s due to the number of cardiologists in other countries. There are approximately 2.5 million cardiologists in other countries, which means that the U.S. doctor makes more money because they are the most common physician in other countries.
The general salaries for doctors are a little higher for cardiologists, but the difference is still large enough to make it worth considering. Doctors in other countries make more than cardiologists, but the higher salaries also mean doctors in other countries are less likely to use their skills on the job. Doctors in the U.S. make more because their salaries are tied to the size of the U.S.
So the reason cardiologists are paid more than general internists is because they deal with diseases that are more likely to affect older people. General internists are more likely to be involved in the diagnosis of heart conditions in younger people due to their specialization, but cardiologists tend to be more likely to be involved in the treatment of patients with life-threatening conditions.
Doctors in general tend to work longer hours than other doctors. Those who work longer hours are generally the ones who want to be in the middle of a patient’s care, not someone who is just doing a generalist job.
Doctors who work longer hours are those who are likely to be in positions of power, and that in turn influences their overall incomes. This is why the top income earners are those who are very close to a hospital, and those with a higher income tend to own or have more stock. The top 10% of earners, on average, have a higher income than any other person on Earth.
The other thing to consider is that generalist doctors like myself have a lot of hours on the clock. So our average income is lower than that of a doctor who works 60 hours a week. That means that we are more likely to earn more money if we work longer hours.
