High paying medical jobs in Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA

Every medical occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single medical job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA run 10.5% above the national average (2024), so a Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA salary is worth about 0.90× its face value in national terms.
