How much do anesthesiologists get paid hourly?

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), the average hourly wage for an anesthesiologist in the United States was $200.36 in 2021. However, this figure can vary significantly depending on the anesthesiologist's experience, location, and specialty.

For example, anesthesiologists with more years of experience typically earn higher hourly wages than those who are just starting out. Similarly, anesthesiologists who work in large metropolitan areas or teach at medical schools tend to earn more than those who work in rural areas or private practice.

In addition, some anesthesiologists choose to specialize in a particular type of anesthesia, such as cardiac anesthesia or pediatric anesthesia. These specialists typically earn higher hourly wages than general anesthesiologists.
