10. Emergency Medicine
Score: 18
Deciding for emergency medicine is outright ludicrous. Not only that you’d have to put up with uncertain working hours, but you’ll have a very responsible job of saving people’s lives on a daily basis, and not so great compensation. Average annual salary for emergency medicine physicians (not residents) is $320,419 which doesn’t look so bad compared to other specialties but isn’t that high either. Step 1 score of 229 and Step 2 score of 243 average to a total of 236 which is just shy of 236.5 national average. Ultimately, there are 1.15 spots available per US applicant that decide to apply to this specialty.
My working hours are neither uncertain, nor is my pay low. In fact, it might be the highest hourly pay of any specialty. Pretty poor article really. Basically taking what should be a 2 inch by 2 inch table (how many spots available per US applicant) and extrapolating it into 11 pages of clickbait and ads.
