Depends which province. But overall, I would say pre-tax (post-overhead) of 300k+ is high for an urban setting (maybe 20% of FP earn that)

In general what I've seen in AB is seasoned optometrists making 120-140k/yr and starting at 80+/yr. The conversation here seems to be skewing towards best case scenario optometrist pay and low-end family medicine pay. In AB for example average pay for Family docs only doing clinic is 330/yr. If you add in hospitalist which is very lucrative, or many other sources of lucrative supplemental income (derm, urgent care/rural emerg, etc.) that number quickly goes up. It's also much easier to do those things versus owning and operating a private optometry clinic/franchise. Just my 2c :).

what is the FHO model?

Hey everyone, Working on the ROL, considering primarily FM. Calgary seems to be a great city with friendly residents and PD, but there are always unmatched spots annually. During the presentation, it seems that their training is much more "chill" than others across the country. My main concern then would be the level of competence of grads after residency. Does anyone have any personal experience or comments on this? Thanks!

Is that before or after overhead and tax?
