[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can the Physician recruiter start an AMA? I'm curious as a future doctor considering peds but worried about the salaries. [/quote]

You should be.  The only thing that really pays well in medicine is procedures, and most pediatricians do everything in their power not to do procedures on kids.

If you really want to do it, you have a few options:
1). Set up a private practice.  Hire a bunch of mid levels that bill as you.  Pay them half of what you get paid.  Manage the business and do very little medicine. 
2). Move to a rural area where there is additional government incentive for Medicaid patients and be on call 24/7 as the only pediatrician in town.  You will get amazing experience doing this because there will be no specialists for you to refer to.  
3). Do some kind of procedure on the side:  allergy testing, wart removal, etc.  This reimburses better than catching cancer (and much better than ruling out cancer and savings child from unnecessary testing).
4). Marry someone else from your Med school or residency who is going into a more lucrative specialty:).
