Annual salaries for physicians varied based on specialty. Holistic physicians generally earn about as much as allopathic physicians who work in the same settings.

The average salary for medical residents was $61,200 in 2019, according to Medscape, a health care informatics firm.

According to the Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2019, primary care physicians earned a median salary of $237,000, while specialists earned $341,000.

Family and general practitioners working in private practice earned an average of $214,820 in May 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The lowest paid 10 percent of physicians earned less than $79,600.

Of course, earnings vary according to experience, skill, hours worked, geographic region, and many other factors. Some holistic practitioners may earn less because they spend more time with their patients, so they can see fewer in a day. Some make up the difference by charging more per visit.

Benefits vary according to the position of the physician. Those who work for large practices, clinics, or hospitals may receive benefit packages that include sick pay, vacation time, insurance, and other benefits. Those who are partners in a practice or are self-employed must provide their own benefits.
