FAQ: People with Jobs as Physicians / DoctorsPhysician Starting SalariesResearching physician starting salaries can be tricky, since physicians spend years as interns and residents before becoming full-fledged physicians. Median physician starting salaries for physicians with less than 1 year of experience is around $120,000; keep in mind, though, that 1 year of experience is taking place after several years of residency. Would the interns on Grey's Anatomy be bringing home a physician salary in the $128,000 range? Probably not (although the actors make much more). However, from those initial physician starting salaries, the typical physician salary is given a boost in just a few short years. Looking at the Median Physician Salary by Age report, we can see that physician salaries are significantly higher for physicians age 25-44 than for those age 18-25. Physician starting salaries are just the jumping-off point. PayScale's physician salary survey data indicates that once medical specialties are chosen, physician salaries vary quite a bit.
