Furthermore, physicians in Florida benefit considerably from the lack of a state income tax, amounting to thousands of dollars in extra disposable income every year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Surgical specialists command a 44% annual wage premium versus non-surgical specialists nationally, and a 48% annual wage premium in Florida.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Midwestern and Southern states lead the nation in physician pay, while Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states predominate in the bottom of the rankings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Physicians in heavily populated metro areas of the country earn significantly less than their counterparts in smaller cities within their own states, despite the higher cost of living.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This counterintuitive trend holds in most states and is particularly marked in Florida, which represents an opportunity for physicians across the country that are flexible on location to increase their earnings by relocating to smaller cities within their same state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The higher earnings enjoyed by doctors in smaller cities represent potentially millions of dollars in increased net worth at the end of their careers versus their big city peers, <a
