Pediatric Pulmonology, by setting and region — built from verified physicians
The national average is 23,000 physicians of every specialty pooled. The figure that settles an offer — this specialty, your practice setting, your region — needs 30 NPI-verified, full-time physicians in the cell before it exists here. Your record is yours: viewable, exportable, deletable, and out of every future aggregate the moment you withdraw it.
0 of 30 verified contributions
Free physician account, NPI verified once. Nothing about you is ever displayed.
How this number is built
The two surveys, as each describes itself, and the rules this page adds. Nothing here is estimated: a gap in a source is shown as a gap.

|---|---|---|
| Income year | 2025 | 2025 |
| Survey window | January–December 2025 | September–December 2025 |
| Respondents | nearly 23,000 in 2025; over 250,000 completed surveys over the last seven years | 5,916 physicians |
| Who counts | full-time U.S. physicians who practice at least 40 hours per week | U.S. physicians, self-reported |
| What is counted | Self-reported annual compensation. The report does not define the term further in its methodology. | Self-reported total annual compensation for the prior year. |
| Geography | 60 of the top-represented metropolitan statistical areas; metro comparisons adjusted with the 2024 regional price parities of metro areas published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. | National |
| Adjustments | multivariate regression with controls for medical specialty, metro area, and gender, plus years in practice and self-reported average hours worked per week | None stated |
The rules this page adds
- Every figure is reproduced as its source published it. Nothing is interpolated, rounded, or filled in.
- The midpoint is our arithmetic: the mean of the two figures, only where both cover the same specialty and the same income year, and only when they sit within 25% of each other. Past that, the disagreement is the finding and no midpoint is shown.
- The year-over-year change is our arithmetic from Doximity’s two tables (Doximity 2026 against Doximity 2025, which reported 2024 income). It matches the growth list Doximity publishes for its top ten.
- Physician-contributed figures follow Doximity’s sampling rule and a stricter display rule: full-time physicians only, NPI-verified, and no number at all for a specialty × geography × setting cell with fewer than 30 contributors. Percentiles are never computed below that floor.
