How much money would a doctor make in one year fresh out of medical school?

A doctor fresh out of medical school won't be making a doctor's salary yet. They'll be in residency, which is a postgraduate training program. Residency salaries vary widely depending on the specialty, the location (state and even the specific hospital), and the specific residency program.

Generally, first-year resident salaries range from $50,000 to $70,000 annually in the United States. Some specialties might pay slightly more or less at the beginning of residency. It's significantly lower than what an attending physician (a fully licensed doctor) earns. Salaries increase each year of residency.
