60K a year is more like a salary for a resident. My friend made approx 60k a year for 4years of residency and one year of fellow ship and then his first job paid him 250k a year. He even had an offer for approx 400K a year from an unethical private clinic which was abusing insurance so he didn't take that job. So yes, doctors in US make a ton of money compared to here in Canada.
