My fellowship is in an area of neurosurgery that is currently highly sought after. There is a limited supply of people trained in what I do, and the average neurosurgeon isn't trained to do the types of cases I can do. That is why I can get more from an academic center than a neurosurgeon without that training. I'd say I'm at the upper end of what you can get as a starting salary at an academic center. The low end for someone with my specialized area of training at an academic center would be about $400k

$150k is about right for IM
