I'm going to bulletpoint these questions for ease of answering.
1)In academics, I know that pure anesthesia can be 3-4 days a week and a pure critical care doc would be working 7 on 7 off. What if you wanted to do a 50 split of gas and critical care in an academic position? Does the even happen in academia?
2) Does anyone have any info on what cardiac trained academic gas would have as a schedule? What would be your split of hearts cases vs. general anesthesia?
3) If you go academic critical care with 7 on 7 off do departments let you pick up extra shifts on your off weeks or perhaps do some OR shifts?
4) New psuedo trend is to be a triple threat of cardiothoracic, critical care and anesthesiology. Sounds impressive to have all of that specialization but what are these doctors doing in practice? Are they any more employable/profitable than a single fellowship or no fellowship at all in academics?
Lots of questions. Forgive my ignorance. Thanks as always. Love the info on this board.
