Highest-paying state: North Dakota at $454,550. Typical entry-level education: Doctoral or professional degree.

Physicians, All Other (SOC 29-1229) has a national median of $265,930 per year in the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics May 2025 release. The published 10th-to-90th-percentile boundaries run from $69,170 to $452,360, and the published mean is $262,040. Those summary statistics describe the estimated distribution; their difference alone does not identify its cause. OEWS estimates 342,720 jobs in covered establishments nationally. WageDex has published rows for 51 state or territory areas and 449 metropolitan or nonmetropolitan wage areas.

BLS Employment Projections forecast a +2.5% change in employment from 2024 to 2034, which we classify as about as fast as average relative to the all-occupations baseline of 3.1%. About 9,600 openings are projected per year from growth, occupational transfers, and labor-force exits. BLS assigns Doctoral or professional degree as typical education needed for entry, and BLS classifies its typical on-the-job preparation as internship/residency. BLS does not publish a separate occupation-specific fatality and injury rate for this role in the current release. The safety panel below shows its broad Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations SOC-group context and is not an occupation-level measurement or ranking.

Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. North Dakota pays the highest state median at $454,550, which is +71% above the national figure. The highest published metropolitan-area median in this ranking is Burlington-South Burlington, VT at $517,900. The observed difference does not identify its cause. Pair the national median with the state and metropolitan-area rows below while keeping the geography and statistic consistent. OEWS includes tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses, but not employer benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, or nonproduction bonuses. See our methodology for the sourcing and calculation details.
