Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am interested in an academic career i.e. signing out surgical cases, doing basic science research and lecturing to medical students. I know that the academic salary is considerably lower than that in the private sector. What options are there, once in an academic job, for increased income i.e. are there ways to supplement this income? I'm not talking about selling tupperware or Mary Kay. I was thinking about, for example, testifying in court cases/expert testimony/reviewing cases, lecturing for Osler and other review courses, etc. Would this be prohibited by a contract? Any additional thoughts would be appreciated.
