True. When you factor in the foreign docs that will come here and work for peanuts or guys that have been in trouble for whatever reason or those that are just lazy/not worth a shite, it definitely affects those averages.



Toss in the ones that should be retired but work a 1/2 day week clinic as a preceptor for the local med students/residents, and you've got yourself some real low-earners.

Residents and fellows are physicians as well.

Another consideration is the size and scale of the federal government's health system.

DoD bases, NIH, VA, et al., these all carry lower salaries than the private sector, dramatically so.

There are a lot of civilian providers working in this capacity. Much of their compensation is in the form of benefits, not just wages. Retirement benefits being the most prominent.
