Job Bank's page for infectious disease physicians pools every specialist physician and lists a median of about $311,000 a year. CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) does not break infectious diseases out; it reports average gross payments of about $445,000 for internal medicine and its subspecialties (2023 to 2024). Those are billings before overhead. Infectious diseases has no procedures and many salaried academic jobs, so it sits toward the lower end of internal medicine, with most netting roughly $260,000 to $350,000. This is an estimate. It varies by province and by how you bill.
