What is the starting salary of a radiologist?

It takes a long time to become a radiologist- 4 years of undergraduate, 4 years of medical school, 1 year internship, 4 years of radiology residency and 1-2 years of sub-specialty fellowship training. Average starting radiology salaries after all of this is quite variable and highly dependent on the market factors (supply and demand) and location. In general academic radiologists get paid less than private practice radiologists. Also, in general, undesirable locations pay more than desirable ones. Average reported salaries from 2006 ACR data are 265K for non-interventional and 280K for interventional- but of course this includes ALL radiologists both senior and junior as well as private and academic. Junior academic radiologists in desirable locations like NYC can make 150-200K, where in private practice in non-urban Texas may make 200K-300K starting. 

During residency salaries are fixed and range from 40K-72K depending on location and post-grad year. There are few opportunities for moonlighting, as most programs disallow it- but clearly this can somewhat increase ones income. Fellowships in general have similar salaries, but a large portion moonlight, if available.
