Hello, I'm a Neuro PGY-3, wondering about hospitalist jobs. While I like clinic, there's a lot of non-sults (chronic pain, fibro, dizzy chronic pain, memory probs w/ narcs, SOB R/O MG, etc) which as prompted me to pursue more of an inpatient job.
While I've considered some fellowships such as epilepsy, I find myself more attracted to the 7 on 7 off schedule, and hospitalists seem to be in decent demand with pretty good pay. I've been toying with the idea of doing a cerebrovascular fellowship vs just going directly into practice. In you guys' opinion, would the extra year of CV add much in terms of inpt based jobs? Would it add significantly to compensation?
Also, is it common for you to have an inpt service, or be more of a consultant?
