What emergency physicians make
Median
$311,000
Lower end

Upper end

Job Bank does not give emergency physicians a figure of their own. Its page for emergency physicians uses the figure for all medical specialists: a median of about $311,000 a year (low $126,000, high $607,000) for 2023 to 2024. Most doctors in Canada bill the provincial health plan, and published billing figures are gross payments before office and practice costs, not take-home pay. There is no office to pay for. Pay varies by province and by whether the department pays hourly, per patient, or a blend.
