1. Fibromyalgia is screened out of many pain practices up front. The pain forum has entire threads on this, and you seem to have a flawed impression of the average pain practice if you think seeing fibromyalgia is a significant portion of the practice.
The training required to be a neurologist is extensive: 7-9 years after medical school (out of which 3 are in medicine), which is more than neurosurgery (6 years) and ortho (3 years)- and this leads to incredible supply shortages. The training includes extensive EEG and EMG stuff built in, so every neurologist can do them at a fairly high level.

don't know much about neuro salaries, but I can tell you that academic salaries can be difficult to compare.

What I'm saying is that if one were to read this thread they might get the incorrect assumption that a 400k+ salary is normal or the average. In the northeast (caveat being this is the lowest area of salary) the median salary for an established neurologist is around 320k and for a new physician 260k.
It's going to be in line with most outpatient neurologists. It will be higher if compared to a non-procedural neurologist. Typical range can be anywhere from 250 to 350+ depending on a host of factors such as location, practice type, patient load, etc etc. Other procedures besides EMG: skin biopsies, Botox.
