How to read the wage estimate

The mean is the average and the median is the midpoint. Their ordering does not establish the cause of a difference; do not treat the pair as a salary range.

Who was surveyed

National total compensation, not this state's average. Do not blend these surveys with state wages or call the figures a salary range.

Why the sources differ

Do not average these surveys together. Doximity and Medscape survey physicians in distinct national populations. Specialty definitions, work patterns, pay components and samples differ. Use each as a separate reference for the written offer.

The national survey measures compensation; the BLS state estimate measures employee wages. Different populations and pay definitions mean these are context, not directly comparable endpoints of a salary range. The national figure is not a state average.

Licensing and first-shift checks in Arizona

Arizona's Medical Board lists separate allopathic MD routes for full licensure, universal recognition, locum tenens, training, temporary work and telehealth registration. A licensing coordinator contacts applicants about required records, and the page identifies license issuance as a step after application approval. Choose the route that matches the work rather than assuming a telehealth or training credential permits every setting. Confirm the issued credential and employer privileges before a first shift; this source describes the MD board's routes.

Build a dermatology offer checklist

Use the actual job description to check the work that sits behind the pay number. These are questions for the hiring team, not claims about available Saile jobs.

Define medical, surgical and cosmetic duties rather than treating all dermatology work as the same job. Ask which procedures and patient populations the role includes.
Compare clinic time with procedures, pathology follow-up, documentation and messages. Ask how collections or productivity incentives are calculated.
Verify malpractice coverage for the actual duties and site, equipment and staff readiness, and any restrictive terms before agreeing to a second job.

Dermatology salary questions in Arizona

What is the average dermatology doctor salary in Arizona?

BLS May 2025 estimates a mean annual employee wage of $346,080 and a median of $233,270 for dermatologists in Arizona. The mean is the average; the median is the midpoint. These are covered employee wages, not total compensation, a guaranteed offer or a salary range.

What is the hourly pay equivalent in Arizona?

Dividing the annual wage estimates by 2,080 hours gives about $166.38 per hour for the mean and $112.15 for the median, rounded to cents. This is an arithmetic equivalent, not a quoted locums, per-diem or telemedicine rate. Contract hours and benefits differ.

How does Arizona dermatology pay compare nationally?

The Arizona BLS figures cover employee wages. The two national dermatology cards report $497,509 from Doximity and $448,000 from Medscape. Their populations and compensation definitions differ from local employee wages, so the figures provide separate context and are not directly comparable.

What should I verify before starting dermatology work in Arizona?

Arizona's Medical Board lists separate allopathic MD routes for full licensure, universal recognition, locum tenens, training, temporary work and telehealth registration. A licensing coordinator contacts applicants about required records, and the page identifies license issuance as a step after application approval. Choose the route that matches the work rather than assuming a telehealth or training credential permits every setting. Confirm the issued credential and employer privileges before a first shift; this source describes the MD board's routes.

How can I find higher-paying or part-time dermatology work?

Compare written offers with the same hours, duties and benefits. Use the Saile app to explore part-time, per-diem, locums, telemedicine and full-time work through the existing search. Matching depends on specialty, credentials and location; these wage estimates do not prove current openings or guarantee higher pay.

Source definitions

BLS May 2025 OEWS combines six survey panels over three years. It covers wage and salary employees, not self-employed physicians or unincorporated owners. Wages include straight-time gross pay and certain incentives, but exclude benefits, overtime, shift differentials and nonproduction bonuses. The relative standard error describes estimate uncertainty, not your pay spread.
