How to read the wage estimate

Annualized wages: BLS multiplies hourly wage rates by 2,080. These are not observed yearly earnings or total compensation.

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.

National compensation

U.S. dermatology

Doximity 2026 report

2025 responses from full-time U.S. physicians working at least 40 hours a week.

Who was surveyed

2025 income reported by full-time U.S. physicians. Includes base salary, incentive bonus and other income, such as profit-sharing. Rounded as published; not a state figure.

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 Idaho

The Idaho Board of Medicine says licensure status can be verified through its License and Registration Search, and that physicians can get primary-source license verifications from other state boards through VeriDoc. It also states that Idaho physicians must complete no less than 40 hours of practice-relevant Category 1 CME every two years. Use the search to confirm the license shows as issued before a first shift, and assign an owner to any verification request. For a Idaho offer, confirm the license is actually issued, and confirm facility privileges and onboarding separately. A pending application is not a confirmed first-shift date.

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 Idaho

What is the average dermatology doctor salary in Idaho?

BLS May 2025 estimates a mean annual employee wage of $314,760 and a median of $281,920 for dermatologists in Idaho. 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 Idaho?

Dividing the annual wage estimates by 2,080 hours gives about $151.33 per hour for the mean and $135.54 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 Idaho dermatology pay compare nationally?

The Idaho 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 Idaho?

The Idaho Board of Medicine says licensure status can be verified through its License and Registration Search, and that physicians can get primary-source license verifications from other state boards through VeriDoc. It also states that Idaho physicians must complete no less than 40 hours of practice-relevant Category 1 CME every two years. Use the search to confirm the license shows as issued before a first shift, and assign an owner to any verification request. For a Idaho offer, confirm the license is actually issued, and confirm facility privileges and onboarding separately. A pending application is not a confirmed first-shift date.

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.
