What's an EP cardiologist?

so, after three years of cardiology fellowship, you have to do one to two years of clinical electrophysiology post fellowship, so you have to study 7 years after med school. it takes forever

EP salaries are on par with, or maybe just slightly lower than salaries for interventional cardiology.... though EP salaries may increase in the near future 2/2 to new guidelines for ICD placement, new techniques for ablation of a-fib, etc. A million a year would be possible, maybe, if you had a great job in the midwest and worked 70 hrs a week doing 100% EP... not likely. From what I can tell, right now starting salaries are in the 300-350 range often w/ production bonuses, with salaries around 500-600 once you've a partner.... that's for the midwest, south, and central states, lower on the coasts.

Once you've a partner, What does this mean?

Meant to say "once you're a partner".... just like law firms. In most groups, initially you're hired as a salaried employee, and after a few years you become a partner, meaning you own a percent of the practice and get a proprtionate share of the profits
