Self-employed gastroenterologists can see substantial salary growth over the course of their careers, according to data from Medscape’s salary explorer.
Nationwide, those with one to seven years of experience earn an average of $410,000 annually. That figure rises steadily with experience:
- Eight to 14 years: $480,000
- 15 to 28 years: $580,000
That marks a 41% increase from early to mid-career compensation — followed by a plateau, with earnings remaining steady from 15 to 28 years of experience.
