Each year the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) publishes Faculty Salary Survey Reports based on information it has gathered from medical colleges across the US and Canada.
The data are divided into Basic Sciences Departments, which includes Departments of Physiology, and Clinical Science Departments.
In order to offer a comparison with the data collected by the Association of Chairs of Departments of Physiology in the upcoming June article, below is a table showing median salaries as reported by AAMC in their 2002 survey.
The complete 2002 AAMC Faculty Salary Survey Reports can be purchased from the AAMC publications office (202-828-0416 or http://www.aamc.org/publications/start.htm). The cost for constituents is $75, plus shipping.
