Dear aspirant,

They range from $75000 for audiologist to all the way to $128000 for general practitioner.Allthough the pay may seem good but their counter parts who are civil doctors will earn way more maybe sometime 100-200k more a year. However the role of any army doctor is way more prestegious than any other job .
