Local-currency tables below are what employers quote; the USD sort is only for cross-border orientation. Tax, public healthcare, and hours differ enough that a higher USD median is not automatically a better life.

Do not rank countries by cash alone for immigration decisions — licensing and visas are independent of this table. Use each country’s salary calculator assumptions separately; a single global “take-home” does not exist.

Skills commonly listed: Patient care, Clinical assessment, EMR, Empathy, and Triage. Requirements still change by country and seniority.
