CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) does not break out emergency medicine, but its average gross payment across all medical specialties is about $405,000 a year (2023 to 2024), and Job Bank lists a median of about $310,000 for emergency physicians. There is no office to pay for, so nearly all of it is take-home. Pay varies by province and by whether the department pays hourly, per patient, or a blend.
