    Was that salary a surprise to you Tim? I don't think it is wholly atypical, and I suspect Albuquerque is a difficult area to recruit. I am sure they want a physician boarded in EM vs. a internal medicine or family practice physician "moonlighting." I had a EM physician friend making $300 an hour about 5 years ago on the east coast in a not underserved resort area. I've lost touch with him, but I'm sure he's had a raise or two since then.

    I know an internal medicine doctor who makes $180/hr and works two jobs. He's killing it with the salary. They worked hard to get to where they are and should probably make some money to pay back those student loans.

    Thats a good point, some doctors are coming out of school with nearly $500,000 in student loans. Whereas I will be under $50,000

    Yes it was, I am some how on their list as a physician. I didn't put myself out there as one, just for the record.

    Bluedevil, yes, I am surprised a little. Considering how we add to the team and make what? 1/3? Are we doing 1/3 the work? I understand they have more responsibilities, but 1/3? Well, who ever said life was fair?

    I believe BlueDevil is actually getting paid the same as they physicians in her practice.

    $200-$250 and hour? Hey if they work some over time they would make almost as much as my buddy who graduated from CRNA school a couples years ago and is now a partner in an all CRNA anestesia practice. I wonder if the ER docs get 2 out of every six weeks off?
