How this list is ordered
Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Anatomy graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the United States appear. The figure covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. For 4 of the 28 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The metric does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. Harvard University leads at $117,816, a gap of $25,170 above Yale University at $92,646. Across the list, earnings range from $117,816 to $25,194, a spread of $92,622.
