- Medicine is a field that's supposed to promise high salaries.
- That's a popular line of thinking, anyway.
- But some roles tend to rake in higher pay than others.
- LinkedIn looked through its salary data to figure out which healthcare jobs earn the most money.
Medicine is a lucrative field.
It is true that highly skilled people working in an in-demand industry like healthcare tend to make a lot of money. But which positions really earn the most?
In order to find out, LinkedIn provided Business Insider with data collected through the site's salary tool over the past year, which asks verified members to submit their salary and collects data on wages. Of course, since the data is self-reported by users, it might be subject to some variation.
The jobs are all from the healthcare industry, but c-suite titles were eliminated from the search. LinkedIn calculated median base salaries, as well as median total salaries, which included additional compensation like annual bonuses, sign-on bonuses, stock options, and commission.
The top gigs all went to physicians. These 15 positions all make a median base salary of at least $225,000 a year.
Here are the highest-paying jobs in healthcare:
15. Hospitalist
