According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2018), the median annual wage for healthcare practitioners and technical occupations (such as registered nurses, physicians and surgeons, and dental hygienists) was $63,420 in May 2016. This was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations in the economy of $37,040.
What about leadership roles? According to the same source, the median pay in 2016 for Medical and Health Services Managers is $96,540 per year. This specific field is projected to grow 20 percent from 2016 to 2026. This is substantially faster than the average for all occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018).
