Job Bank's pediatric surgeon page pools all surgeons: a median of about $419,000 a year in gross billings, low $144,000, high $767,000. Gross is before overhead. CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) puts the average gross payment for surgical specialists at about $556,000 (2023 to 2024). Nearly every pediatric surgeon in Canada works at a university children's hospital on a salaried or blended plan, so the spread is narrower and overhead is low. Roughly $280,000 to $550,000 net. Varies by province.
