Job Bank's national median is $56.49 an hour, about $117,000 a year full time. Job Bank pools medical physicists with all other physicists and astronomers, so this is the group figure. Certified clinical medical physicists in cancer centres usually sit above the median; the top of the range is about $96 an hour, roughly $200,000.
