Overview

If you are a Dermatologist wondering how the current job market looks, the answer is: quite strong, with the added benefit that people will always continue to have skin.

The national Dermatology job market reflects a robust and geographically diverse landscape, with 308 active job listings identified across the country. Of those, 25 listings included salary data, providing a useful—if occasionally entertaining—snapshot of compensation trends.

Physicians interested in exploring the market can browse current Dermatology physician job opportunities on PhysEmp.

Across the listings that reported salary data, the national salary range spans from $300,000 to $4,500,000. While that upper number is technically impressive, it is almost certainly the result of a keyboard-related incident and should be treated with caution.

Setting aside the outlier, the national average salary range falls between $405,200 and $639,800, with most positions clustering comfortably in the $400,000 to $500,000 range. In other words, Dermatology compensation is both strong and relatively consistent—two qualities not always found together.

Florida and Texas also perform well, with Florida averaging $400,000 to $537,500 and Texas averaging $425,000 to $537,500. These states combine competitive salaries with meaningful job volume, which is generally what physicians are hoping for when they open a job search.

Lowest-Paying States

At the lower end of the compensation spectrum, Arizona and Delaware report the most modest salary ranges among states with available data.

Arizona listings averaged $300,000 to $400,000, placing it below the national average. Delaware followed with a range of $350,000 to $375,000, also trailing broader market benchmarks.

Illinois presented a particularly unusual data point, with an average low of $400,000 and an average high of $350,000, suggesting either a data anomaly or a very creative interpretation of math.

Physicians evaluating these markets may want to confirm compensation details directly before making any major life decisions.

Near-Average States

Several states cluster near the national average salary range, providing useful benchmarks for evaluating market-rate compensation.

Connecticut and Maryland both show ranges of $400,000 to $425,000, while Massachusetts and Alabama come in at $400,000 to $450,000.

Pennsylvania listings averaged $425,000 to $450,000, placing it solidly within the national norm.

These markets represent stable, mid-range compensation environments where Dermatology physicians can expect predictable—and still quite strong—earnings.

Job Volume Leaders

Florida leads the dataset in job volume, with 4 listings that included salary data, all of which provided compensation figures. This makes Florida not only active, but refreshingly transparent.

Texas, North Carolina, Illinois, and Georgia each reported 2 listings with salary data.

Interestingly, Florida’s higher volume does not come at the expense of compensation, as its salary range remains competitive.

Georgia, by contrast, reported a flat average of $400,000 to $400,000, suggesting consistency, if not dramatic upside.

Notable Listings

The lowest salary listing in the dataset was a Dermatology position in Phoenix, Arizona, offering $300,000 to $400,000 annually.

The highest salary listing appeared in Camden, Maine, reporting a range of $4,500,000 to $475,000. This range is notable for several reasons, most of which involve the likelihood that the first number should not be there.

Excluding this outlier, the practical upper end of the Dermatology market is better represented by the $550,000 range seen in Michigan and California.
