💸 Lowest Paid Medical Specialties (2025) 💸

We all love talking about the highest earners, but let’s look at the lowest paid according to the Doximity Compensation Report 2025 👇

😷 Pediatric Endocrinology – $230K
👶 Pediatric Rheumatology – $231K
🧬 Pediatric ID – $248K
🎗 Pediatric Heme-Onc – $255K
🧠 Medical Genetics – $259K
💧 Pediatric Nephrology – $260K
🏥 Family Medicine – $318K
💊 Internal Medicine – $326K

🩺 You’ll notice a trend — most lowest-paid specialties are pediatric or primary-care fields.

But remember, salary isn’t everything.
👉 It depends on work hours, stress, lifestyle, and training length.

For instance:

Neurosurgery takes ~7 years (plus possible research/fellowship) and long hours 😮‍💨

Hospitalists & EM physicians often work half the month only! 🗓

So always balance income vs lifestyle when choosing your specialty 💭
