What palliative care doctors make
Typical

New or part-time

Job Bank does not track palliative care on its own. It pools it under medical specialists at a gross median of about $311,000 a year (low $126,000, high $607,000), which is higher than most palliative doctors see. Many are paid a salary or a daily rate by a hospital, hospice or health region instead of billing per visit, so gross and net are close. A realistic range is roughly $170,000 to $380,000 depending on province, hours, and whether you also keep a family practice. Treat this as an estimate.
