Doctor jobs abroad: what doctors earn in the US and the UK, from training pay to senior pay.
Doctor pay abroad rises with training and time. A US resident earns about 68 thousand dollars a year (AAMC 2025). US physicians earn a median of at least 239 thousand dollars (BLS 2024). In the UK, a consultant earns basic pay from about 109 thousand to 145 thousand pounds a year (NHS scale). Each country needs its own licence first.
Three numbers, broken down:
- Training pay, US: a first-year resident earns about 68 thousand dollars a year on average (AAMC 2025 survey of 114,361 residents and fellows).
- Senior pay, US: physicians and surgeons earn a median of at least 239 thousand dollars a year (BLS 2024).
- Senior pay, UK: a consultant earns basic pay from about 109 thousand pounds to 145 thousand pounds a year (NHS 2025-26 England scale).
- Licences first: the UK needs GMC registration, the US needs ECFMG certification, Australia needs the AMC exams.
- Check before you apply: read each job for the licence it asks for.
