Some programs have really sweet deals involving getting paid on the order of $50 to $75 an hour for staying past a certain time of day, e.g. to relieve colleagues during the afternoon and at night. Off the top of my head I know that UAB and UTMB-Galveston are such programs. I'm sure that there are others that offer similar deals.
What's cool about this is (I think) you don't even have to have your license to practice independently since it is all done at the residency training program.
Definitely something to look into as you're researching different programs.

i think this is the case at upitt and the cleveland clinic as well....
Wash U has moonlighting opportunities-I should know because I make the moonlighting schedule-👍
for those of you residents at programs that allow moonlighting -- how much do you actually moonlight? how much more money can you really make? a resident at a program without moonlighting said it didn't matter because he is so beat he wouldn't want to work anymore anyways.
Virginia Commonwealth University/Medical College of VA. We are allowed to moonlight, similar pay as mentioned above. There is plenty of time available to moonlight. We still have to follow 80hr work week rules. Our PD prefers us to keep our hours under 24 hrs per 2 week period. Many of us have substantially increased our income by moonlighting without totally burning out. Feel free to PM me with additional questions.
Oh, no additional malpractice is needed. It is all in-house moonlighting. And it is a great way to boost case numbers.

an old thread said temple had moonlighting...anyone have any new info?
25/hr is low, we make about 70/hr (vcu/mcv), take home is about 48-50/hr.
Most of our guys that moonlight frequently will make somewhere between 20-30K over the base salary.
Also if you moonlight you will typically get about 30% more case per year. So the benefits are 2 fold. More $ and more experience.

Temple does offer in house moonlighting. I am not sure of the pay (IIRC, >$40/hr) or other details.
its $45 or $50, depending on whether you are a CA-2 or CA-3. CA-1 dont moonlight until the end of their first year.
UT houston has moonlighting. its in one of their hospitals which is perfect since you don't need to get a TX license. You work with the same attendings with the same supervision except its on weekends. You dont need any other credentialling and its about $80 an hr. its great and very chill.
to gasmann: Pls clarify why for moonlighting in TX a resident doesn't need TX license. As the resident you have a temporary license , is it correct? After being board certified you can apply for your full TX license or you can do it earlier?
Thank you for the answer.
WVU has weekend moonlighting shifts. A 7am-5pm Saturday in-house shift pays $1250 ($125/hr), and is usually pretty busy the whole time. The other option is a Friday 11pm - Monday 7am weekend backup call from home that pays $1000 (variable hourly rate - great if you stay home all weekend, potentially low if you get called in repeatedly or for long hauls). Do one a month and you're 10K ahead at the end of the year.
Damn. Wish I was at WVU. We don't make that much here. Oh well.

We have some moonlighting at Maine Med. We make $50/hr and almost all opportunities are call shifts that weren't covered by the regular schedule or covering another resident's call shifts if they end up on leave (pregnancy on bedrest or getting injured playing on the resident B-ball team and needing surgery). Typically there's 5-10 available moonlighting shifts in July and then about one every other month unless the above things happen.

$100/hr here at penn and let me tell you, it can add up fast. i wouldn't stick around for less. i feel for you guys making $35 and $50 an hour. just not worth it.
Ooops

I delegated a task to my classmates and CA-1s-- we contacted every program listed in ERAS with accurate contact info (coordinator and/or chief). Survey was simple set of questions. Results only as strong as methodology:
Pct responding: 40% (51/129)
Pct with moonlighting of some sort: 65% of responding programs
Avg $/hr: 58.36
We're trying to show this to our dept to get moonlighting-- difficult to recruit without it, it turns out...
Hope it helps

Let me know how that raise thing goes - I'd like to know how you went about it (if it works).
My info prolly won't garner you much of a raise: we can do 12hr shifts for $50/hr, which is much less than the $110/hr they're paying the CRNAs for overtime.

Case Western/University Hospitals:
$65/hr for OR, $75/hr for ICU

Vandy - we have a ton of moonlighting, in general:
Main OR - $75/hr
ICU - $90/hr
VA - $60/hr (I think, we are actively working on getting this increased)
