How many of you are picking up extra call vs selling call?
If you're selling, at what age did you start to do so?

picked up lots in 30s did my allotment in 40s sold some in early 50s. got out of call completely late 50s.How many of you are picking up extra call vs selling call?

I don’t really have any required calls these days. But I just sell off my shifts for 2k cash per 8 hours. So I can make 10k elsewhere to pickup an extra 24 hr call weekday.How many of you are picking up extra call vs selling call?

depends on the practice, but in general, I am a strong believer that creating mechanisms for those that wish to work more and make more and those that wish to work less and make less are huge positives for group cohesion.You can sell call?
Sell as in - the person taking call gets paid normally for whatever the call pays AND a payment from whomever sold it?People that don’t want to take call usually sell it for cash in our group. Otherwise it’s not fair. Our call isn’t that busy. Even with the call units and rvus from cases done during call it’s often more lucrative to work two non call days than a call and have lost call day off.
The beauty of the partnership. Make the young ones take their calls. And if it’s a long buy in. They get that 20- 30% of what you make that 16/24 hour period.Early/mid 30s. I pick up 5-10 extra calls per year. Calls are well compensated so partners that don’t want to take call for any reason have no trouble unloading them on those of us looking to make a little extra.
If no one is picking it up when people try to offload it, then it's still undervalued.I always hated call and gave it away often from day one. We revalued our call stipend not long ago and now I just take it most of the time. I believe the whole call/late package is 25% now. It’s overvalued in my opinion, especially with the call morning and post call day off. We actually increased the value to try to make it easier to get people to want to swap and pick up available shifts, which was becoming harder in recent years. Guess what? The young guns still don’t care and nobody’s jumping in to pick stuff up even at ~2x the money. Though I think we are all overworked with a pretty sick patient base. That doesn’t help.

We have a very different system. Ppl fight for call
We had that at one place I worked. Over the years it was actually counter productive as it prolonged the old timers career way past their sell by datewe have a very different system. no one fights for call, and not many bother trying to give it away, bc no one will take it, bc its part of your salary
But then my patients would be awake. I'll take callEarly 30s. Call doesn’t exist. Go into pain.
