Findanus Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 How is the environment for pathologists in Quebec? I am considering taking a job there but would like to know more details about it such as workload, remuneration and pathologist happiness before I accept a position. I am finding lots of conflicting information about these factors and hope that a more recent opinion can be shared. DM me if you are more comfortable with that.

-JAG- Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Pathologists in Quebec are FFS as opposed to the rest of Canada where they are mostly salaried unless they work in one of the few remaining private labs. I can't speak for the job market but remuneration is quite good : 467k on average. Volume is a bit higher than in the rest of Canada but not by a crazy amount. If you're in a field that reads slides fast, like GI, it's not unheard of to get to 600k+. University salaries can add to this and overhead is basically nonexistent. Pathologists are generally very happy there because they are being fairly compensated for their work unlike in other provinces where they usually make 350k and sometimes can't even incorporate.

member_225 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 are these pre-overhead figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important to note that overhead isn't very high in Quebec because most specialties work mostly in public hospitals in the province. For example, there is relatively little private office run radiology and geriatrics in QC compared to other provinces. Also helps that the governments pays you more if you work outside a public institution (établissement) which obviously helps with overhead.
