how much do Pediatric Oncologist's get paid?

Answer 1

The salaries for pediatric oncologists are typically lower than those of adult oncologists for a number of reasons. First, there are far fewer pediatric oncologists in private practice compared to adult oncologists. This has to do with the fact that there are far fewer pediatric oncology patients compared to adult oncology patients. As such, most pediatric oncologists are affiliated with and/or employed by an academic medical center.

Depending on your role (clinical vs research) and your position (non-tenure track, assistant vs. assoc. vs. full professor), your salary will vary. Most of the entry salaries for the people I know coming out of fellowship are between $125-150K/year.

Remember, though - most people do this job because they love it more than anything else, and not for the money.

Answer 2

That all depends on the contract you have with the practice you join or if you are a sole practitioner and what you decide to charge for your fees. Everything is negotiable.

Answer 3

$165,000 - $200,000 but they have a lot of school and residency before that. And what they get paid depends a lot on how many patients they see, where they live and what kind of insurance their patients have.
