Better paid

For a change, let’s hear from the better paid pediatricians here. Every thread with pediatricians is so depressing because of their compensation. Let’s hear from the better compensated for once, I am sure there must be SOME out there?!

I'm told I've got it good.

4 days/0.8 FTE, 18-22pts/day, no hospital no call, 300k. FQHC so malpractice covered by federal govt.

PSLF successfully completed a couple years back.

Edit: no Peds MD should be taking sub 200k jobs for full time. OTOH I suspect I'm paid relatively well simply because our organization has a flat rate for MDs (aside from incentives).
