Re: Does this job exist?
I work for a medical software company and we have had several MD's work for our company in various positions and many on a consultant basis, typically doing product development. My understanding is that they would would make 10-50% higher for us than for their market salary in the medical field. The higher end are typically people with more diverse backgrounds for example MBA/MD types that have never really practiced medicine (and these guys have been terrible, small sample size though).

I heard that dentists are in high demand and can easily make more than your average MD.
I have no facts to back this up, however.

Is there a job that combines medical doctor with math or computers? Anyone know how much more a doctor makes than an actuary? [/ QUOTE ] What about the stuff they do these days with cross-sectional scans of the body?

What major would you recommend for someone going into this field? Are you an MD? Do you make close to what a practicing doctor makes?

[/ QUOTE ] It's slowly creeping its way into schools, at least in Canada. My school has a new bioinformatics undergrad degree. They're just starting out so it's not that popular yet and still evolving. Though I have a good friend in it. She's taken a lot of comp sci and various biology/biochem courses.

[/ QUOTE ] No, but I've taken a lot of the same classes. [ QUOTE ] Do you make close to what a practicing doctor makes? [/ QUOTE ] I'm pure research, grant funded style, so I'm poor. But I've had some amazing jobs. But not all bioinformaticians are poor. Private industry is where the $$$ is in my field. And from what I've heard there is a lot of it. I dunno though.
