What are the different types of doctors and information?

I'm looking into the medical career, and I have a few questions. Well, a lot.

I want to know all the types of doctors there are plus the following information for each: their average annual salary, average malpractice insurance, and how many years of college they need up until their masters degree. Best Answer to who can give accurate answers the fastest. Thanks!What are the different types of doctors and information?Okay, well there are a tonne of different types of doctors. Let's see if I can come up with a decent list:



Cardiologist

Cardiac surgeon

Respirologist

Thoracic surgeon

Cardiothoracic surgeon

Opthamologist

Orthopedic surgeon

Dermatologist

General surgeon

Gastroenterologist

Oral surgeon

Neurologist

Neurosurgeon

Nephrologist

Endocrinologist

Oncologist

Pediatrician

Pediatric surgeon

ENT doctor

Internist

Gynecologist

Obstetrician

Plastic surgeon

Psychiatrist



Now, as for annual salary, that ranges with the area. For example, a neurosurgeon working at Vancouver General Hospital in Vancouver, BC, Canada, makes a standard amount of about $350,000, but the salary can be higher as a result of raises for excellent performance. On the flip side, a psychiatrist in PEI, Canada, makes around $102,000. The median for all doctors is about $220,000, where surgeons obviously make more and psychiatrists make less. Of course, you have to consider office overhead.



As for malpractice insurance, it depends on the doctor. A cardiac surgeon's malpractice insurance will be much more expensive than a respirologist's. The general value is about $30,000 for a neurosurgeon in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for example.



In terms of years of university, most medical schools require three years of undergraduate education before a candidate may be considered. Masters and Ph.D degrees are not required, but are beneficial in the admissions process.



Bottom line: medicine is a high-paying, noble profession, and if you think you're up to it, then go for it with all you have and you'll do great.
