Job Bank's page for respirologists pools every specialist physician and lists a median of about $311,000 a year. CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) does not break respirology out; it reports average gross payments of about $445,000 for internal medicine and its subspecialties (2023 to 2024). Those are billings before overhead. Respirology is hospital-based with low overhead, and bronchoscopy, sleep studies and intensive care shifts add to clinic billing, so most net roughly $330,000 to $450,000. This is an estimate. It varies by province and by how you bill.
