$350K Salary - How Much Interventional Radiologists Make

[@do.on2wheels38]

Huge point you made about medicine - many of us starting to look at specialty choice options and choosing specialties or coming out of training don't care about grinding for that $1 million+ salary. You can make $1 million+ in any specialty if you hustle, run a tight ship for a business, and are very business savvy. A lot of us cherish work life balance and being happy. Making a million a year in medicine doesn't just automatically make you happy or make you the best doctor in the practice/area/hospital. Sometimes the sacrifices you make to squeeze that huge salary aren't worth it and honestly can be quite draining emotionally and physically depending on what you do

[@mbyoutube01]

That’s a good point and I honestly believe you can make more in the technology industry.

[@wholesomemasculinity694]

Work life balance>>>>salary for me

[@matchachachoco8948]

On average a medical school student graduates with half a million dollars student loan, it makes sense that they want to make sure the specialty they enter will at least pay off the student loan

I found this video by googling interventional radiologist salary. The salary in CT can range from 200k to 360k pediatric radiologists can make 450k+

[@Spindown8]

Very informative video, love your stuff Dr. Cellini. I'm currently a Radiologic Technologist (Routine, about to sit for my CT board this Friday) and since choosing to work in Radiology have always felt that it is my calling. My dream is to be in a position like yours someday and while I feel fortunate that it is well compensated, I agree that in the end there are far more relevant reasons to choose a specialty. In fact, one of my biggest fears about continuing to educate myself and pursue medical school is that I will forfeit that good work-life balance as you discussed in this video. This gives me a glimmer of hope that even for such a specialized doctor, you can still find time to enjoy your life and not feel overworked or burnt out. Thank you.

[@michaelg6836]

Have you thought about the Radiologist Assistant tract. We get to work in IR under the radiologist as a mid-level. It is great.

[@Spindown8]

@@michaelg6836 I have in fact been asked to consider the RA route, but am not super knowledgable on it! It may well be the better and more achievable option for me. Do you have experience in that position?

[@murraysolomon4924]

A big difference is are you part of a general radiology group where all of the partners make about the same or are you in a specialty group made up of only interventional radiologists where salaries tend to be higher. More important than the salary, is what is the cost of living where you are working. A house that costs $150,000 in the midwest will cost you $1.5 million in San Francisco.

[@nikovlogs8823]

As a rads resident from Nevada, I feel called out! Nevada is definitely not the “middle of no where Midwest”. Also IR docs don’t easily make $1.2 million here lol. Overall, you make fair points in your video

[@doctorshawn3461]

I work as a pathologist in Canada. The salary is around 375k if you work for a hospital. If you work in a private lab, you will make 2-5x that doing easier cases and less work. The billing system is extremely flawed here when it comes to billing in pathology.

[@cindycook8054]

Hi Dr. Cellini. Love your video and I am going to share this with my daughter who is a Veterinarian. 8 years of school as an MD, and works in a practice that she worked in before vet school as an asst/tech. She just had her third year of private practice and she is having a hard time balancing work and life. She is very aware of self care but, at times the week is just to much. She will eventually by the practice in the next 3-4 years. She is planning to pull from Mid Western University of Veterinary Medicine, Glendale Az.. Great School, the best all around. Her class was second on to graduate from with full accreditation. After three years, if she knew then what she knows now she would have gone on another 4 years and specialize in Anesthesia Veterinary Medicine. Thanks for the video!

[@kmart625]

People out here saying $350k is low while I know they working jobs that aren’t even paying them $100k

[@reh604]

1) Don't ever strive to earn a salary. Be your own boss. 2) Treat your education like a business decision. Do a cost/benefit analysis. There are so many well-educated people out there that are swimming in debt because they haven't done the work and thought the future through. 3) At the end of the day, everything is a job. Get paid the most you can for your time, and then get out. Life is not about work, but what you do outside of it. Our time here is simply too short. Once you surpass a threshold in terms of financial success, money doesn't matter, and more of it won't make you any happier. This is coming from a 7-figure health professional who has been around the block.

[@dr.alywilhelm3093]

Love your videos! And love this one! Every one is always asking about how much each doctor makes- especially medical students (that have to pay back their loans). It is so variable for every field dependent on WHERE you work, what kind of system you work in, and what you are willing to sacrifice for the higher salary. I try to remind all med students that the most important thing is that they love their job because you have to do it rest of your life! As a student I was between pathology and gen surg which have very different qualities of life. I would have been happy in either but now I definitely feel that never working weekends allows me to feel like I am living a full life and that’s invaluable. And I agree that IR is a totally cool field - competitive salary but also they do really cool work, they GET SH*T DONE at the hospital, and I always love working with them- you can tell IRs love their job. If I loved physics more than biology I definitely would have been IR all the way. You guys rock.

Recently matched integrated IR resident here. It would be really cool to hear about the differences in the types of procedures you would see in an academic setting versus a private practice setting. Is it possible to see newer procedures like geniculate artery embolization in the private practice setting?

[@mateocorrea3768]

What is interventional radiology? I keep hearing about it but i still don’t understand what it is.

[@raddestdoctor]

Academics will usually have more "high-end" IR as there are more subspecialized people also referring to this large medical center. I actually wasn't aware geniculate artery embolization was a thing, but if someone referred me that, I could probably read up about it and do it. If that's somehow your favorite thing to do, you gotta buddy up and give out your numbers to any doctor who sees patients for knee pain and hope they refer these patients to you.

If you are not making a good amount of money then what's use of those 15 yrs , studying 10-17 hrs a day destroying your adulthood , and talk about work life balance when you get old . It's better to go with a general subject stream where you will be having all your time to enjoy the best yrs of your life or creating your business . I being a med student feel like this profession puts you in a place where you neither get to enjoy your university life nor it gets you rich at the end of the day , it just bring added stress. You just have to make excuses and compensate with what you get because you are out of options and probably tired or old .(* I was just giving my opinion in general ,please don't get offended.)

I met him in his final year (also honours project year). He would uni classes, project work, night fill at a department store and what little time he had left he would see me and sleep about 2-4 hours and live on energy drinks. He didn’t take off in hopes for the big bucks like some in his year instead he made sure he left time for me and we paid for our wedding then our first home, and our first child, then second. Our children are now 17 and 15. Now his plans are to work a bit longer hours in a higher position as the kids are older and need him less and less. Unlike his peers who did the hard slog and are now pulling back to start families. I think is having kids at 24 and 26 helped. We are now 41 and whilst we are not “set for life” we live comfortably. As I am always in a Drs or having scans I joke he should have been a Dr but his response is always the same “I couldn’t deal with patients” 🤣🤣.

When it comes to salaries, there is no free lunch in my view. Either barrier of entry is high or you’re working your butt off. The easy way to money is to be born into it pretty much. But when it comes to professions and money, we are not having an honest talk about work expectations. To me, there’s a lot of professions where you’re going to need work more like 50-60 hours a week to get that 80k to 120k. I can understand why some are frustrated because getting engineering degrees, JD, PhDs, etc. are not easy. That being said, people’s standard of living is skewed. I fell for the whole academia is toxic. I mean it is toxic but it’s comparable to other professions. It did not help my degree program was the target of some corrupt politics. In the time, it took for me to find an engineering job in industry, which is entry level, I could have been on my way to making the salary as a professor that I was looking for industry.

If it's patient-centered, why are appointments scheduled for the doctor, not the patient who is told they have a 3 pm appointment, but to come 10, 15 or 30 minutes early. Appointments should be for patients, for when the practice wants the patient to appear at the check-in desk. But it's not; it's doctor-centered. Always has been and, apparently, always will be.
