Not sure how accurate those numbers are. "Physician" is not a singular job even within a single specialty and varies significantly based on practice pattern so averaging the numbers like that doesn't make a lot of sense.

For similar job descriptions most equivalent physicians would have higher compensation in Canada than the US, contrary to what that dated study says.

Definitely agree the majority of physicians aren't hurting in either country although I think the US/Canadian compensation is fair given the years sacrificed/intensity/work hours/stress (disclosure: I'm a physician). Some specialties like primary care and pediatrics remain very underpaid.
