I'm a PGYII Neurology resident trying to make up my mind for fellowship and I am strongly considering doing a Neurophysiology fellowship preferably with 6mo of EEG and 6 mo of EMG or something similar. I feel like this set up would make me best suited to be a general neurologist in a community setting preferably in the suburbs or city with the ability to refer to larger academic centers for more complicated cases.
Im not going to lie though, I do care about financials and lifestyle. I want to make a good amount of money but I also dont want to kill myself doing it and constantly take calls.
What is the job outlook for someone who is trained in Neurophys in regards to average salary for a big group vs smaller private, bigger metro area vs smaller vs suburban? Its really hard to tell. A lot of the average salary data just clump neurologists into one pile and when I talk to seniors or graduating fellows they keep bragging about how much opportunity and money there is which doesnt really correlate with the average salary figures.
My priorities:
1. Good lifestyle
2. Good Pay
3. Not get bored/feel fulfilled
4. Not very stressful in regards to medical complications
5. Im very interested in procedures such as TPI, Botox, EMG, Occipital blocks. I know pain is procedural but I dont think I want to only deal with pain and deal with that sort of population exclusively. I think I will find that boring.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!
