Slide 1 of 16

If a new report from LinkedIn is any indication, the healthcare industry has a strong employment outlook. This is due to a number of factors, including an aging Baby Boomer generation and an increase in the rolls of the insured spurred by the Affordable Care Act. Yet some jobs in healthcare pay better than others.

That's why the professional networking and job search platform has identified the 15 top-paying jobs in healthcare. Many may seem obvious -- psychiatrists and surgeons appear on the list -- but other jobs don't pertain directly to medical practice, such as vice president of quality and global marketing director. The list is as varied as the job skills needed to land on it.
