How Much Does An MD Make Per Year? Average MD Salary?

Medical doctors or MDs in the US earn about $200,000 annually which is 2 to 5 times higher than what doctors make in most other countries. The crucial factor contributing to higher physician salaries in the US is the restriction on the number of medical schools and medical students resulting in a limited number of physicians. MDs, occasionally referred to as allopathic physicians, may specialize in a number of fields including general medicine, internal medicine, anesthesiology, obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery and psychiatry. Almost 90% of American MDs are reported to be directly involved with patient care.
