Yes, we all know the AAMC report, 40.000-130.000 shortage of doctors in US until 2035, even tho the med schools have way more spots, the residency programs don't and here we are. More about that, there is already a big shortage of neurologists especially in the rural and less desirable areas, so I guess this will only get worse and worse, baby-boomers are getting old (a lot of neurological diseases) and all that. So, of course, the classical question, will the neurologist's salary finally catch up the one of a cardiologist, as an example? Yes, even this year, as of Medscape report, there was seen a 7% growth for neurologists, but could that from now go on an exponential growth? I mean, I really like neurology(still in med school), but I'm a honest dude, if there are the circumstances for a nice growth for the neurologists compensation, if the supply is way less than the demand, of course anyone would like bigger compensations, idk, in the end is a very complex field and it's not yet even in the middle on the Medscape compensation report, I don't have the MGMA recent data. Thanks in advance for your opinions!
