 Earnings
Podiatrists enjoy
very high earnings. According to the most current Podiatry
Workforce Study completed by the American Podiatric Medical Association,
the median annual earnings of salaried podiatrists is $150,000 and in
2007, podiatric medicine placed 15th on Forbes' survey of "America's 25
Best Paying Jobs."Podiatrists in
partnerships tended to earn higher net incomes than those in solo
practice. A salaried podiatrist typically receives heath insurance and
retirement benefits from their employer, whereas self-employed
podiatrists must provide for their own health insurance and
retirement. Also, solo practitioners must absorb the costs of running
their own offices.
