(See my article about the new 2012 Medscape Compensation Report here)
If you have not seen it already, the newest physician compensation report was recently released by Medscape. Each year Medscape surveys thousands of physicians and reports the results in graphical form. In order to access the report, you have to be a medscape member. Don’t let this stop you, by joining medscape you will also have access to some of the best software and portable medical apps for free (see my previous post regarding these apps). It is a win-win situation.
The main report can be found here,

Medscape also publishes a specialty-specific report for each specialty which outlines geographical and practice specific factors that affect compensation.

My name is Andrew and I am a first year resident training to be an ophthalmologist. I created ShortWhiteCoats to provide medical students, residents, and the public with all the information I spent so many hours looking for during medical school.
