A recently boarded neurosurgeon in an “NFL City” market can make about $500k to $1 million per year. If you come from a world-renowned residency program such as Johns Hopkins, UC-SF, Mayo Clinic, NYU and Columbia, and get yourself into a teaching hospital, you can maintain your practice and almost double your income though consulting, research and textbook writing/editing. A boarded neurosurgeon finishing up a 30 year career out of Memorial Sloan Kettering and he’s pulling in $2 million individually PLUS his profit share from the group he helped establish decades ago.
