Job Bank's page for rheumatologists pools every specialist physician and lists a median of about $311,000 a year. CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) does not break rheumatology out; it reports average gross payments of about $445,000 for internal medicine and its subspecialties (2023 to 2024). Those are billings before overhead. Rheumatology is office-based with few procedures, so after rent and staff most rheumatologists net roughly $260,000 to $360,000. This is an estimate. It varies by province and by how you bill.
