The salary of a doctor can vary significantly depending on many factors, such as the type of medicine they practice, their level of experience, the location of their practice, and their specialty. In general, doctors who have completed additional training in a specialized area of medicine, such as surgery or oncology, tend to earn higher salaries than those who practice general medicine. According to data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for physicians and surgeons was $220,380 in May 2020. However, this number can vary widely, with some doctors earning much more and others earning less.
