Because derm need go study MRCP which is very tough. Also need to do all the Internal Med postings first.

And very limited positions.

Plastics Ortho and Eye all make more. Surgical disciplines. Not so hard to study.

for derm to make 1 million need lots of volume. ur turnover probably need to be twice that.
quite siong. u charge 500 per pat also need see 20 patient monday to Friday. private derm pat is one pattern one la. see some of them can vomit blood.
real hospital derm is damn difficult and pple stay for the intellectual curiosity and satisfaction. life isn't about money only. 300k got interesting cases, minons to work for me might be more appealing than sloughing ur guts out for 1 million a year.
Mrcp not that difficult la. every year got so many place to take. sure pass one.

ortho money better la. esp if u can do tkr. one pair 25k for one afternoon work. not uncommon to make 100k per week in ortho if u become popular.

Is it easy to get into ortho?
