When you’re deciding what career to pursue, there are plenty of factors to consider. You want to choose a job that feels well-suited to your skill set and needs, your experience, your interests, and your personality.

Physicians (also known as doctors) are responsible for providing medical care to their patients. Depending on their area of specialty, physicians may see a wide range of patients (for example, pediatricians treat children) and provide a variety of services (like anesthesiologists, who deliver anesthesia and monitor patients before, during, and after surgery, or podiatrists, who manage foot-related care).

All physicians need to go to medical school following their undergraduate studies (podiatrists, however, go to specific podiatry schools). Then they need to complete a residency—or postgraduate training for new doctors during which they are supervised by more senior doctors in a particular specialty—before they can become a practicing doctor. Physicians are among the highest-paid individuals in the U.S.—and while most physicians are paid extremely well, some specialties make more money than others.

Some of the most highly compensated physicians include the roles below. (You can click on each job title to search for open roles on The Muse!)
