Can you give numbers to those absolute salaries? US PCPs make ~$220k on average. Switzerland seems to be the highest, but the numbers I'm seeing for non-specialists are all less than 200k. Switzerland also has a famously high CoL, so even matching would be reduction compared to say Kansas.
- jac241 7y agoHere are the swiss salaries - https://www.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/a8t87g/swiss_physician_salaries_switzerland_conducted_an/ https://www.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/a8t87g/swiss_phys... Most are the same as US. They pay anesthesiologists more, dermatologists less, gastroenterologists more, etc. Most are about the same as here. They also have universal healthcare. Here is a chart for Australia: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/heres-how-much-money-australian-doctors-actually-earn-2014-5 https://www.businessinsider.com.au/heres-how-much-money-aust... Hard to say how much they earn when working private as well. Anecdotes from the medicine subreddit suggest a lot.

Medscape always sets the bar low when comparing US to other countries. I don't know why they do not include these ones. Here's the Medscape report that conveniently leaves these three countries off (wonder why): https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2019-international-compensation-report-6011814 https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2019-international-compen... I'll try to find more sources for the other countries as I am interested as well. 220k is likely on the low side for PCP here. Offers coming in more around $250-270 range.
