Marit Health and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) are partnering to bring pay transparency to emergency medicine. Together, we launched the 2026 ACEP & Marit Emergency Medicine Compensation Survey, to build the most comprehensive, physician-reported picture of what emergency medicine pays and put it back in the hands of the people doing the work.

Radiology is consistently ranked among the most lucrative medical specialties, and has defied predictions of AI-driven automation. Today, there are thousands of open radiologist jobs on Marit. Not all of them are equal. Marit analyzed thousands of active job listings to determine the Top 10 Radiology Jobs Hiring Now across three employer types: academic, health systems and medical groups.

When you're choosing a specialty, the compensation figure gets all the attention. But the number that matters more is the one that gets much less attention: how many years you'll spend in residency earning $70,000 before you see a real paycheck.‍The average medical school graduate in 2025 carried $223,000 in education debt, with 70% of graduates finishing in the red. Every additional year of residency or fellowship is another year compounding that debt at resident pay (roughly $68,000 to $75,000, depending on PGY level). The real question isn't "which specialty pays the most?" It's "which specialty gives me the financial life I actually want, and when?"

Nearly one in three physicians plans to leave their current organization within two years. For those weighing their next move, location is one of the biggest variables. Marit's analysis of the top metros for physicians finds the sweet spot and puts some data behind that decision.

Today, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) earn an average of $288,441 a year, and pay has climbed nearly 60% since 2019. In major metro markets, the average runs higher: $310,000 in Chicago, $329,000 in New York. ‍Why the increase? The economics are straightforward: pay is up because CRNAs are one of the most in-demand jobs in medicine.‍The operating room generates 60-70% of total hospital revenue. But the physician anesthesiologist workforce is shrinking while anesthesia demand expands, and hospitals are leaning harder on CRNAs to fill the gap. ‍Here are five reasons why CRNA pay and demand have accelerated. 

A decade ago, a legendary AI researcher told the world that radiologists would be obsolete within five years. Medical students believed him and stopped applying. But imaging demand didn't get the memo. Volume kept climbing, productivity gains never arrived, and radiology is now one of the hardest specialties to fill in American medicine. Average compensation has climbed to $678,000 a year. The prediction didn't prevent a shortage, it caused one.

New Marit research breaks down what's driving the disparity and why transparency is the first step to closing it.
