The average income for physicians is $294,000, according to Medscape’s 2017 Physician Compensation Report. This marks the seventh year in a row to see physicians’ average annual compensation. In 2011, the average physician income was $206,000. This year’s report again found a wide gap between the incomes of specialists versus primary care physicians. Specialists are paid $316,000 compared to the $217,000 earned by primary care physicians.
