Medscape Cardiologist Compensation Report 2026: Evaluating Your Salary Mary Lyn Koval May 15, 2026

https://www.medscape.com/p11/medscape-cardiologist-compensation-report-2026-evaluating-2026a1000ddf Cardiologists in the US reported a better year for average pay gains than they had a year earlier in a Medscape survey, and they offered a positive vibe as well. Compared to the previous year, an equal majority of cardiologists said they felt fairly paid, and around 4 in 10 of them expected to finish 2025 with some level of compensation increase. (Note: Respondents were full-time physicians who practice in the US only, and they reported total compensation including base salary, incentive bonus, and other income such as profit-sharing contributions.)
