EM docs practicing outside of the ER

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Regarding work for pro teams in NFL/NBA etc. heard from an ortho doc that many ortho doctors actually pay the teams to be their physicians and to be able to advertise as such.
 
The groups usually pay amounts into the millions to work for pro teams. Why do you think that the screen behind Jeff Fisher has "Baptist Health" on it?
You can probably work for High School for free, college for very little, and semi pro for even less. But it is fun.
 
Wilderness &Travel Med... Think Cruise ships, Resorts, ski patrol, Search and Rescue, Forest Fire Service,

Just want to point out most docs who do wilderness medicine/Ski Patrol/SAR do it on a volunteer basis. National ski patrol has one or two docs who get paid to write the manual etc, but most ski areas have medics or docs who help out in exchange for a pass. SAR is usually part time, with a doc acting as medical director usually for free. These are fun things to do if you like them, but be aware it is very hard to be a full time wilderness doc.
