- John Dietl discusses the need for change in medical education and training. Dietl’s son took his own life near the end of his fourth year of medical school.  According to Medscape’s latest resident salary report, the average resident salary was $56,500, up slightly from $55,400 last year. Residents in critical care are the top earners with an average salary of about $62,000, followed closely by those in cardiology, gastroenterology, and pulmonary medicine with $61,000.

This is up from 10.6% in 2014.
