AN INTERNIST
An Internist is what you become after completing your residency in Internal Medicine. So how much would you make if you did not clinch that fellowship after your residency? You still would make enough to make your non-physician neighbour's green with envy...Here's the average yearly internist compensations in a few cities:
New York: $170,000/-
Los Angeles: $165,000/-
Houston: $152,000/-
Seattle: $155,000/-
This specialty is a general favourite with most International Medical Graduates (IMGs) , since:
1. Many programs offer the much sought H1 work visa
2. Easier to get than other specialties
3. Opens doors to exciting Fellowship opportunities
4. Good pays !
