Earnings

After graduating from medical school, students spend at least two years in a hospital residency program. The average salary for first- and second-year medical residents was $65,000 in 2024, according to Medscape, a health care informatics firm.

According to Salary.com, the median annual salary for hematologists-oncologists was $343,600 in 2024, with salaries ranging from $215,600 to $523,564. Fifty percent of hematologists-oncologists earned between $276,600 and $437,800. Physicians in clinical work tend to earn much more than hematologists who concentrate on research. The pay for research scientists is sometimes based on available grant or research funds.

Salaried hematologists usually receive fringe benefits such as health and dental insurance, paid vacations, and the opportunity to participate in retirement plans.
