How much money do doctors get a week?

Doctors' salaries can vary widely depending on their specialty, level of experience, location, and type of practice. However, according to data from the American Medical Association (AMA), the median weekly salary for all physicians in the United States was $208,000 in 2021. This means that half of all physicians earn more than this amount, while the other half earn less.

Orthopedic surgery: $508,000

Plastic surgery: $480,000

Dermatology: $425,000
