US salary 313k to 630 k usd Canadian 283 k to 460 k Cad$ Keep in mind CAD $ is 1.4 to usd So in Canada doctors earn less then half of USA docs in comparable field plus pay more taxes. USA spends a lot on healthcare but the outcome is life expectancy for usa is just 76 for men vs 81 for canada. Usa men life span is similar to Bangladesh
It's true that doctors in the U.S. generally earn significantly more than their counterparts in Canada, even after accounting for the exchange rate. However, it's important to consider the broader context. While the U.S. spends more on healthcare, the outcomes in terms of life expectancy are not necessarily better, with U.S. life expectancy for men being lower than in Canada and comparable to countries with lower healthcare spending like Bangladesh. Additionally, higher earnings in the U.S. are often offset by higher costs of living and healthcare-related expenses. Therefore, the decision to practice in the U.S. or Canada should weigh both financial and lifestyle factors.
