Pediatrics — Physician Career Context

Of the 50 active Pediatrics listings this role was benchmarked against, 2% are remote, 62% have no call, 54% require no weekends.

Pediatrics pay on WeekdayDoc is up 14.1% vs. the prior quarter (through Sep 2026).

The cost-of-living index for Washington is 107.0 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$309k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $288k in an average-cost state. 59.8% of Washington clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
