While it's true that becoming a doctor means a guaranteed six figure salary, these salaries vary dramatically between specialties.

雖然成為醫生確實能保證有六位數的薪水，但不同專科的薪資差異很大。

The good news is in 2024, 12 medical specialties now make over 500k a year.

好消息是，2024 年有 12 個醫療專科的年收入超過 50 萬美元。

Dr. Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com let's break down the top 12.

Jubbal 醫師 medschoolinsiders.com，我們來分析前 12 名。

In the 12th spot is Otolaryngology, or ENT.

排名第 12 名的是耳鼻喉科學，也就是耳鼻喉科。

These physicians make just over half a million at $502,000 a year.

這些醫師年收入剛好超過 50 萬美元，為 502,000 美元。

ENT is a surgical subspecialty focusing on diseases of the head and neck region, including the nose, sinuses, vocal cords, ears, thyroid and parathyroid, as well as cancers of the head and neck.

耳鼻喉科是一個外科次專科，專注於頭頸部區域的疾病，包括鼻子、鼻竇、聲帶、耳朵、甲狀腺和副甲狀腺，以及頭頸部癌症。

As far as lifestyle goes, ents have it pretty great.

就生活方式而言，耳鼻喉科醫師過得相當不錯。

They have an excellent work life balance and a flexible schedule.

他們擁有絕佳的工作與生活平衡和彈性工時。

They can choose to devote most of their time to the clinic or have a 5050 split between the clinic and the OR.

他們可以選擇將大部分時間投入診間，或是在診間和手術室之間五五分。

Clinic days will have regular nine to five hours and OR days can either be half days or full 12 hour days if they're dealing with more complicated cases.

診間的日子會有一般的朝九晚五工時，而手術室的日子，如果處理較複雜的病例，則可以是半天或完整的 12 小時。

If you want to become an otolaryngologist, ENT is a five year categorical residency, meaning you'll match straight into an ENT residency program.

如果你想成為耳鼻喉科醫師，耳鼻喉科是一個為期五年的分科住院醫師訓練，這意味著你將直接進入耳鼻喉科住院醫師計畫。

You should know, however, that ENT is highly competitive, consistently ranking in the top five most competitive medical specialties.

不過，你要知道，耳鼻喉科的競爭非常激烈，一直都名列競爭最激烈的前五名醫學專科。

In the 11th spot we have Gastroenterology.

Gastroenterology focuses on everything in the gastrointestinal tract, ranging from the mouth to internal organs like the liver to the anus.

腸胃肝臟科專注於胃腸道的所有部分，從口腔到肝臟等內部器官，一直到肛門。

They deal with a wide variety of diseases including inflammatory bowel disease, hepatitis and heartburn.

他們處理各種疾病，包括發炎性腸道疾病、肝炎和胃灼熱。

On top of their substantial paycheck, gastroenterologists also have a strong work life balance and can practice in academic, community or private settings, though private is less common.

除了豐厚的薪水之外，腸胃肝臟科醫師也擁有良好的工作與生活平衡，並且可以在學術、社區或私人診所執業，不過私人執業較少見。

Getting into gastroenterology is a challenge as it's the third most competitive internal medicine specialty after cardiology and hematology oncology and training is lengthy for a non surgical specialty.

進入腸胃肝臟科是一項挑戰，因為它是繼心臟學和血液腫瘤學之後，競爭最激烈的第三名內科專科，而且非外科專科的訓練時間很長。

After four years of medical school, you need to complete three years of internal medicine residency and three years of a gastroenterology fellowship.

醫學院四年畢業後，你需要完成三年內科住院醫師訓練，以及三年的腸胃肝臟科進修。

GI is the specialty I thought I wanted to pursue when I first started medical school.

我剛開始讀醫學院時，以為腸胃肝臟科是我想要的科別。

Coming in at number 10 is urology at $529,000 a year urologists are surgeons of the urogenital tract, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, urethra, testes and more.

第十名是泌尿科，年薪 529,000 美元。泌尿科醫師是泌尿生殖系統的外科醫師，包括腎臟、輸尿管、膀胱、攝護腺、尿道、睪丸等。

Urology can also cover fertility, sexual function and gender identity.

泌尿科也涵蓋生育、性功能和性別認同。

Life as an attending urologist is pretty sweet as urology has a much better work life balance than most other surgical specialties.

成為泌尿科主治醫師的生活很不錯，因為泌尿科的工作與生活平衡比大多數其他外科次專科好得多。

After residency, you can expect 40 to 60 hour work weeks to become a urologist.

接受住院醫師訓練後，預計每週工時 40 到 60 小時才能成為泌尿科醫師。

At number nine, radiologists make $532,000 a year.

第九名，放射線科醫師年薪 532,000 美元。

Radiology can be broken down into two distinct diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology.

放射線科可以分為兩大類：診斷放射線科和介入性放射線科。

Diagnostic radiologists typically don't take images that's left to the radiation text.

診斷放射線科醫師通常不負責拍攝影像，這部分留給放射治療師。

Instead, diagnostic radiologists spend the majority of their time in reading rooms analyzing finished scans and interpreting them for the clinical physician who ordered the scans.

相反地，診斷放射線科醫師大部分時間會待在閱片室，分析已完成的掃描，並為開立檢查單的臨床醫師做判讀。

Interventional radiologists use medical imaging technology to treat and sometimes diagnose conditions, and

介入性放射線科醫師則利用醫學影像技術來治療，有時也診斷疾病，

they can also perform minimally invasive procedures.

Diagnostic radiologists have one of the best work life balances in all of medicine.

診斷放射線科醫師擁有所有醫學領域中最佳的工作與生活平衡之一。

They're not on call and typically work regular eight to five hour work weeks.

他們不用值班，通常工作時間是固定的朝八晚五。

Interventional radiologists, on the other hand, are often on call, meaning they can be called in from home at any hour and on weekends for urgent interventions.

相較之下，介入性放射線科醫師經常需要值班，這表示他們可能在任何時間或週末被叫回家執行緊急介入治療。

Diagnostic radiology requires a five year residency, whereas becoming an interventional radiologist takes six to seven years, depending on when you make the decision to focus on interventional radiology.

診斷放射線科需要五年的住院醫師訓練，而成為介入性放射線科醫師則需要六到七年，這取決於你決定專攻介入性放射線科的時間點。

As with most medical career paths, the more specialized you become, the more you'll make.

和大多數的醫學職涯一樣，你變得越專精，賺得也越多。

Income as a radiologist is more determined by your practice type and niche, rather than whether you are a diagnostic or interventional radiologist.

放射線科醫師的收入更多取決於你的執業類型和專精領域，而不是你是診斷或介入性放射線科醫師。

At number eight is vascular surgery at $556,000 a year.

第八名是血管外科，年薪 556,000 美元。

Vascular surgeons care for veins and arteries throughout the body except the brain and heart.

血管外科醫師負責治療身體的靜脈和動脈，但腦部和心臟除外。

They treat a wide range of conditions, including aortic aneurysms, blood clots, carotid artery disease, thrombosis and varicose veins.

他們治療多種疾病，包括主動脈瘤、血栓、頸動脈疾病、血栓形成和靜脈曲張。

While the pay is great, the lifestyle is not.

雖然薪水很高，但生活方式卻不是。

Vascular surgeons must be on call and work both long and odd hours, including weekends.

血管外科醫師必須隨時待命，工作時間長且不規律，包括週末。

Vascular surgery residency typically lasts five years if you match directly into the specialty.

如果你直接進入血管外科專科，住院醫師訓練通常需要五年。

But you can also pursue vascular surgery after general surgery as a fellowship option, which is which brings training up to six to seven years.

但你也可以選擇在一般外科之後，進修血管外科，這樣訓練時間可以延長到六到七年。

At $565,000, it is the highest paying of all the internal medicine fellowships and it's the most competitive.

年薪 565,000 美元，是所有內科進修課程中薪水最高的，也是競爭最激烈的。

Cardiologists treat diseases of the heart and vascular system, many of which are quite common, like heart failure, hypertension and myocardial infarctions, also known as heart attacks.

心臟內科醫師治療心臟和血管系統的疾病，其中許多相當常見，例如心臟衰竭、高血壓和心肌梗塞，也稱為心臟病發作。

Heart disease is unfortunately the leading cause of death in the US despite often being preventable.

雖然許多心臟疾病是可以預防的，但很可惜，它仍然是美國的頭號死因。

I discussed the four horsemen of preventable chronic disease in my extensive summary of Peter Attia's longevity book Outlive on the Kevin Jubbal, M.D.

在我為 Kevin Jubbal, M.D. 頻道深度總結 Peter Attia 的長壽書籍《Outlive》時，我討論了四種可預防的慢性病。

channel the lifestyle of a cardiologist depends on the kind of cardiology practice they run.

心臟內科醫師的生活方式取決於他們經營的心臟科診所類型。

If they focus on procedures, they could be called in the middle of the night for emergencies, but

如果他們專注於侵入性治療，可能會在半夜被叫去處理緊急狀況，但

if they run a heart failure or electrophysiology clinic, work hours tend to be more stable.

如果他們經營心臟衰竭或電生理學診所，工作時間通常會比較穩定。

To become a cardiologist, you'll need a three year internal medicine residency followed by a three year cardiology fellowship.

要成為心臟內科醫師，你需要接受三年的內科住院醫師訓練，接著是三年的心臟內科進修。

This is one of the longest non surgical training paths to begin with, and

這本來就是一條相當長的非外科訓練路徑之一，而且

since this is a field with multiple sizable subspecialties of its own, many choose to further subspecialize and train with an additional fellowship for another one to three years.

由於這個領域本身就有許多規模龐大的次專科，許多人會選擇進一步專攻，再額外進修一到三年的時間。

At number six is radiation oncology at $569,000.

第六名是放射腫瘤科，年薪 569,000 美元。

Like the name suggests, radiation oncologists treat cancer patients as well as people with benign non cancerous conditions with radiation therapy.

顧名思義，放射腫瘤科醫師利用放射線療法來治療癌症患者以及患有良性非癌性疾病的病人。

The therapy uses X rays to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells.

這種療法使用 X 光來縮小腫瘤並殺死癌細胞。

Radiation oncologists work closely with other doctors on the cancer treatment team, which can include a medical oncologist and surgical oncologist.

放射腫瘤科醫師會與癌症治療團隊中的其他醫師密切合作，團隊成員可能包括腫瘤內科醫師和腫瘤外科醫師。

Radiation oncologists enjoy a healthy work life balance.

放射腫瘤科醫師享有健康的工作與生活平衡。

While there is some call, Most physicians work 45 to 50 hours a week.

雖然偶爾會有值班，但大多數醫師每週工作 45 到 50 小時。

Radiation oncology is a five year residency program.

放射腫瘤科是一個為期五年的住院醫師計畫。

Next at number five is oral and Maxillofacial Surgery or OMFS for short.

接下來第五名是口腔顎顏面外科，簡稱 OMFS。

At single, OMFS is a subspecialty of dentistry that focuses on the surgical management of the face, jaw and oral cavity.

OMFS 是牙醫學的一個外科次專科，專門處理臉部、下顎和口腔的腫瘤手術。

While it's true that these surgeons do perform a number of wisdom teeth extractions and dental implants, the scope of the specialty is much broader.

雖然這些外科醫師確實會進行許多智齒拔除和植牙手術，但這個專科的範疇遠不止於此。

Together with the substantial paycheck, many OMF surgeons work a regular 40 hour workweek granting them an excellent work life balance.

加上優渥的薪水，許多 OMFS 外科醫師每週工作 40 小時，讓他們擁有極佳的工作與生活平衡。

To become an omfs, you must first complete dental school.

要成為 OMFS 醫師，你必須先完成牙醫學系。

After that there are two pathways, the four year program or the six year dual degree program.

接著有兩種途徑，四年的計畫或六年的雙學位計畫。

Both will certify you to practice as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

這兩種都能讓你成為口腔顎顏面外科醫師。

But the four year program will maintain your DDS from dental school, whereas the six year degree will earn you an MD in addition to your dds.

但四年的計畫會保留你的牙醫學系 DDS 學位，而六年的學位則會讓你除了 DDS 外，還能獲得 MD。

Arriving at number four on our list is my personal favorite place.

來到我們名單的第四名，是我個人最喜歡的地方。

Plastic Surgery plastic surgeons clear $620,000 a year.

整形外科，整形外科醫師一年收入 62 萬美元。

Plastic surgery primarily focuses on a patient's soft tissue such as fat skin and muscle, as well as occasionally bone to reshape or reconstruct a patient's function or appearance.

整形外科主要著重於病患的軟組織，像是脂肪、皮膚和肌肉，偶爾也會處理骨骼，以重塑或重建病患的功能或外觀。

There are two types of plastic surgery, reconstructive and aesthetic.

整形外科有兩種，重建性和美容性。

Reconstructive plastic surgery involves procedures to correct body and facial abnormalities, such as cleft palate, and

重建性整形外科包含修正身體和臉部異常的手術，例如脣顎裂，以及

aesthetic plastic surgery deals with procedures designed to enhance someone's appearance, such as liposuction, breast augmentation and rhinoplasties.

美容性整形外科則處理旨在增強外觀的手術，例如抽脂、隆乳和鼻整形。

It should also be noted that aesthetic plastic surgeons typically earn more than their recon colleagues.

也該注意的是，美容性整形外科醫師通常比重建性醫師賺得更多。

The lifestyle is busy, but COL isn't bad and most surgeries are not urgent.

雖然生活忙碌，但生活成本不高，而且大部分手術都不算緊急。

That said, COL is much more prevalent for plastic surgeons who specialize in microsurgery or are on call for facial trauma.

也就是說，對於專精顯微手術或需要隨時處理臉部創傷的整形外科醫師來說，生活成本就高多了。

There are two paths you can take to become a plastic surgeon.

要成為整形外科醫師，有兩種途徑可以選擇。

The first is the one I took, the integrated path, where you graduate medical school and head straight into six years of plastic surgery residency.

第一種是我走的，也就是整合途徑，你從醫學院畢業後，直接進入為期六年的整形外科住院醫師訓練。

If you like the sound of this, keep in mind that plastic surgery consistently ranks in the top three most competitive specialties to match into, so you'll have your work cut out for you.

如果你覺得這個聽起來不錯，要記得整形外科一直都名列前茅，是競爭最激烈的前三大專科之一，所以你得加把勁才行。

There is also the independent path, which requires five years of general surgery residency before applying for an additional three years of independent plastic surgery training.

另外還有獨立途徑，需要先完成為期五年的一般外科住院醫師訓練，然後再申請為期三年的獨立整形外科訓練。

You may be noticing a pattern in all of the highest paid career paths.

你可能會注意到所有薪水最高的職業路徑都有個共同點。

They are all either surgical or procedural, with the one exception of diagnostic radiology.

除了放射診斷科之外，它們都是手術或侵入性治療。

In the bronze medal position is orthopedic surgery at $655,000.

銅牌位置是骨科手術，薪水為 655,000 美元。

Orthopedic surgeons utilize both surgical and non surgical treatments to manage the musculoskeletal system.

骨科外科醫生利用手術和非手術治療來管理肌肉骨骼系統。

They treat conditions like trauma, tumors, infections, degenerative diseases, congenital disorders, spine diseases and sports injuries.

他們治療創傷、腫瘤、感染、退化性疾病、先天性疾病、脊椎疾病和運動傷害等病症。

Although the paycheck is certainly substantial, depending on the subtype of orthopedic surgery you practice, it may come with long hours and poor work life balance to get into orthopaedic surgery, which consistently ranks in the top five most competitive specialties, you'll have to complete a five year orthopedic surgery residency.

雖然薪水確實很豐厚，但根據你執行的骨科手術亞型，可能會伴隨著長時間工作和糟糕的工作與生活平衡。要進入骨科，這是一個始終排在前五名競爭激烈的專科，你必須完成為期五年的骨科住院醫師訓練。

In the number two silver medal spot, we make a huge jump in pay.

在第二名的銀牌位置，我們的薪水有大幅躍升。

Thoracic surgeons clear $720,000 a year Thoracic surgery, also known as cardiothoracic surgery or CT for short, is the surgical treatment of organs inside the thorax, also known as the chest cavity, such as the heart, lungs, aorta, esophagus and diaphragm.

胸腔外科醫生每年收入 720,000 美元。胸腔外科，又稱心胸外科或簡稱 CT，是針對胸腔內器官的手術治療，例如心臟、肺臟、主動脈、食道和橫膈膜。

These surgeons perform lung and heart transplants, valve replacements, coronary artery bypass grafts and lung resections to remove lung cancer this specialty can be broken down into cardiac, thoracic or cardiothoracic surgery.

這些外科醫生進行肺臟和心臟移植、瓣膜置換、冠狀動脈繞道手術和肺葉切除術以移除肺癌。這個專科可以細分為心臟外科、胸腔外科或心胸外科。

After completing their CT surgery training, physicians can choose to specialize in cardiac surgery focusing on the heart and aorta, or thoracic surgery focusing on the lung, esophagus, ribs and other structures in the thorax.

完成心胸外科訓練後，醫生可以選擇專攻心臟外科，專注於心臟和主動脈；或胸腔外科，專注於肺臟、食道、肋骨和胸腔內的其他結構。

If the surgeon chooses to remain generalized, they can operate in both cardiac and thoracic domains.

如果外科醫生選擇保持廣泛性，他們可以在心臟和胸腔領域進行手術。

Unfortunately, this is a specialty with a very difficult lifestyle.

不幸的是，這是一個生活方式非常艱難的專科。
