What nephrologists make
Typical net
$400,000
Part-time or new
$280,000
Large dialysis practice
$550,000
Job Bank's page for nephrologists pools every specialist physician and lists a median of about $311,000 a year. CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) does not break nephrology out; it reports average gross payments of about $445,000 for internal medicine and its subspecialties (2023 to 2024). Those are billings before overhead. Nephrology is hospital-based with low overhead, and supervising dialysis units pays steadily, so most nephrologists net roughly $350,000 to $450,000. This is an estimate. It varies by province and by how you bill.
