Home > Frequently Asked Questions > Pay Scales of Emergency Physicians in India

Pay scales vary depending on the hospital and the region. The quality of EM training, qualification and EM experience definitely matters. There are no average figures availlable. Pay packets currently vary widely between each EP depending on the nature of his / her responsibilities. A good emergency physician doing 36-42 hours a week duties in a corporate hospital's busy ED with no added responsibilities can expect no less than Rs. 6 lakh per annum in South India, excluding benefits. Definitely more so in the North.

People who are crossing over into EM after completing postgraduation in other specialties will not be as competitive in the job market as emergency physicians trained & qualified purely in EM.
