Hello all,
So i've been lurking around some of the EM forums and i haven't seen this question asked or answered before. My question is, is there a way to get at least some holidays off throughout the fiscal year working as an EM physician? I've read from a couple of forums where people in the same group trade off shifts such as some taking all night shifts (to ease with the circadian rhythms screw up) while the others seem very grateful they get to work less night shifts or perhaps none; also others working plenty of shifts during three weeks span and then getting a week off, etc. Similarly, could EM physicians in a group schedule/work out scenarios where they work majority of holidays realistically 80% of them, so that they can get the other 20& off? Or is there just not enough EM physician staff for this to happen and they all have to be stretched too thin during holidays. Bonuses aside from working night shifts and holidays, seems like a win/win for both parties agreeing.
Appreciate the input and your time.
