Addiction Medicine Specialists
Posted on: Wednesday, April 29, 2009
An addiction medicine specialist usually has a grounding as a physician and a strong desire to cure individuals of addiction. The American Society of Addiction Medicine, or ASAM, is the national body for Addiction Medicine Specialists. They offer a certification exam that is recognized all over the world. In order to qualify, you must have graduated from a recognized medical school in the US or Canada. They must also hold a valid license to practice medicine in their state or province of residence and have three letters of recommendation from their peers in the medical community.
Salaries for addiction medicine specialists are generally quite low, averaging $54,000 a year in the state of California. However, this profession has a very high degree of job satisfaction and allows the physician undertaking it to set their own hours. If you want to have a full family life along with the personal satisfaction that this career can bring, a specialization in addiction medicine is for you.
There are a very limited amount of physicians who enter this profession due to the stringent requirements and lower salary. As a result demand for this specialty area is due to skyrocket.
