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

[matchachachoco]

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

Because of you & your channel I’ve been super interested in IR for a while now. Love learning about this field. Great vid as always!

[harrisonzhu]

There is no way the average IR IS 186k waaay too low

[markpatrick]

my ex was making $300k+ 22 yrs ago(not interventional ie regular radiologist) working in a major cancer hospital in NYC...cant imagine what it would be today

IR Doctors deserve much more credit and recognition as well as a good salary. Speaking from someone who never heard of one before 3 years ago to them saving my life, I will never forget him

[nemomemo]

I’d rather make 200-300 and have a good life balance than a million + with no life 👍🏼

[miscdylaneous]

I'm currently studying to become a vascular interventional radiology tech and the salary range is great for only requiring 3 years of school!

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.

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.

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!

I totally agree with the fact that you shouldn’t pick a specialty solely on salary. However, I think salary is a growing concern/point of consideration for medical students who know they will finish school with close to 300, 000 in loans. Just my own thought as I am said medical student 😅

[murraysolomon]

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.

[nikovlogs]

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

[John-dgyo]

Dr. Cellini I love your content. I was wondering if you could possibly make a common misconceptions video about IR ? Thanks mate

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.

[sunriselotus]

Yes I agree with you on all your pints it’s great you point out this guy may be doing a lot of other things. He looks very healthy and happy and not burnt out and that is so important.

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.

[jC-hxjx]

The Radiology group at my hospital makes it… just the diagnostic radiologist make over $1, 000, 000. Can’t imagine how much the interventional radiologist make! They do procedures all the time!!

[witewashed]

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?
