Questions
How much do gastroenterologists make?
On live DigestiveJobs listings that state pay, the median posted range for GI physicians is $450k to $550k. Certified H-1B filings for attending GI physicians have a median of $500k. Private practice partners often earn more after partnership; those numbers are rarely posted.
Where do these numbers come from?
Two public sources: pay ranges employers put on their own job postings (read daily), and wages employers filed with the US Department of Labor for H-1B physicians. No survey, no self-reported data.
UK consultant pay is set nationally; check NHS Employers pay circulars. See also GI supply by state and the job-search guides.
