Wages vary by years of experience, area of the country, and hours worked. The doctor's skill, personality, and professional reputation also affect wages. Self-employed internists generally earn more than those who are not self-employed.
Internists usually receive benefits. Typical benefits include sick leave, paid vacation, health insurance, and a retirement plan.
