thebouque Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm already in medicine. I also noticed that you are in Quebec, where the government screws it's doctors on a regular basis with low pay and high taxes. Come to Ontario or BC when you're done. You'll live like a king! I hope this is relatively speaking lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandibular Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yea...figured it out...once i get my M.D. + residency,if the situation doesn't become better in quebec,i may move to other places,ontario,or even the U.S.So much open posts in quebec...(almost 50% of specialists left in the last 8 years.) The "Association des médecins spécialistes du québec" will sue the government in a few months to get better salaries/advantages... A family doc in QC gets around 140-160k/year. A family doc in other parts of canada gets ATLEAST 190k/year,and it goes up fast. It's even more unrealistic for specialists in QC... That's becoming pretty ridiculous...so yea,in a few years,i'll make a choice. Last year, pre-expenses, on average, a family med billed 233K, and it keeps on going up!

I must agree that even in QUebec, if youre in family med, you can bill up to 500 000$ (an even more ) ref : http://www.santeinc.com/file/nov08-05.pdf ( sorry those stats are for the 2007 year ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandibular Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 It's good that family med is starting to catch up. This way, it'll attract more people cause the situation is getting ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinase Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 ref : http://www.santeinc.com/file/nov08-05.pdf ( sorry those stats are for the 2007 year ) Can someone explain to me how you can bill over 400 000 $ as a medical geneticist ?

Ubiquitine Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Maybe when you're a consultant in pharmacogenetic for a pharmaceutical company ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Also,for the M.B.A.,anyone who studied marketing + M.B.A. gets ATLEAST 110k/year at start + a signing bonus of about 15-30k...it's also less stressfull than a physician,so if money is your main idea,go for it,not M.D... I don't know why people have the misconception that getting an MBA= instant millionaire, but it's definitely not the case. Here, from The Ivey School of Business MBA annual report(one of the top in Canada) http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/about/annual_report.pdf you can see the highest in the ENTIRE class including signing bonus etc. was $135 000, and the average was just over $100 000...

Kinase Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Maybe when you're a consultant in pharmacogenetic for a pharmaceutical company ? No, these are salaries given by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec. It's public... Medical geneticists don't do procedures and they spend a lot of time with patients. Because of that, they are often salaried in an hospital setting. I'm surprised some billed as much as 400 000$. Maybe when you are the head of a cytogenetics lab or just work a lot, I don't know.

I agree with you for the most part, BUT there is a caveat. These are basically first jobs post MBA - the corporate ladder can very rapidly climb. For proven employees in certain fields, salaries can triple and quadruple within 5 years. Lastly, for some of these jobs, the end of year bonus can be a huge part of the final income, and is not included. An MBA however does not guarantee a high income, or a stable job, as medicine does. But the financial upside can be huge 5-10 yrs post MBA. I guarantee that at least a few of those grads will be making 1 million + within 5 yrs, and that alot will be over 500K.
