What's the maximum pay as a RP working for say around 10 years ? Is RP the same as MO ? The pay is quite low right ?

Anyone here know the salary of an intervention cardiologist before and after tax ?

Around 100k per month before tax. (Also depending on number of pci u do. It's like surgery, every pci/procedure u do, you get commission)

I would guess 7-8k for RPs, which is slightly higher than mo?

And to think a great many people who spent 100k and more for a medical degree will end up being a RP or a GP or a 'generalist'

Guys are emergency medicine or anaesthetics competitive specialties to get into ?

Well I guess it's a secure job for life (and to be fair it's pretty mundane and straightforward job once you are more experienced) and you are not affected by economy recession.
Guess it's perfect for people who are not ambitious
