How much does a derma surgeon make?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the average salary for a dermatologist in the United States is $416,812. However, salaries can vary significantly depending on a number of factors, such as:
* Location: Dermatologists who practice in major metropolitan areas tend to earn more than those who practice in rural areas.
* Experience: Dermatologists with more experience typically earn more than those who are just starting out.
* Specialty: Dermatologists who specialize in a particular area of dermatology, such as cosmetic surgery or dermatopathology, may earn more than those who do not specialize.
* Practice setting: Dermatologists who own their own practice tend to earn more than those who work for a hospital or clinic.
In addition to salary, dermatologists may also receive bonuses, profit-sharing, and other forms of compensation.
Dermatologists are in high demand, and the job outlook is expected to be excellent in the coming years. The ASPS projects that the number of dermatologists in the United States will grow by 14% from 2019 to 2029.
