What surgeons make, all specialties together

Job Bank's thoracic surgeon page uses the figure for all surgeons together: a median of about $419,000 a year (low $144,000, high $767,000) for 2023 to 2024. Job Bank pools every surgical specialty in one group, so this is not a thoracic surgery figure. Most thoracic surgeons work at teaching hospitals, often on a blended or salaried plan. It varies by province.
