CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) leaves laboratory specialists out of its national pay tables because most are salaried, so there is no official average. Job Bank lists a median of about $310,000 a year for specialist physicians. Most pathologists are salaried hospital or lab employees with no overhead, so pay is close to take-home. It varies by province and by whether you are salaried or bill per case.
