The most common salaries are 120k-250k depending on the speciality. For salaries that are more than 300k there usually is a good reason. Reasons can include things like high overhead cost, high malpractice insurance, extensive hours, high liability, high risk, very heavy scheduling, fast cycling of patients (i.e. having to average interpreting 40+ radiograph results from 20 patients an hour, vs. seeing 2+ patients an hour for general counselling), very limited number of people in the profession due to extensively long study-time (including res, fellowship + other), or private practise.

The BC Health Report: To maintain confidentiality, Public Health and Occupational Medicine are rolled into General Practice, and Osteopathy is rolled into Chiropractors.

I suppose, it could also be due to maternity leaves, new doctors, student interns, etc.
