I heard that malpractice isn't so bad in FL. Maybe cause i'm from NY. Lol. Also, I thought many ER physicians have their malpractice taken care of via the hospital since they are salaried employees?

It depends on where you are in FL. In Miami, we have the highest rates in the country for some specialities.

As Miami said, it is pretty bad in some places. The state as a whole doesn't have liability reform.
And no, each contract is different. Some take it out, some don't, but you need to read closely. It can make a huge difference in your take home pay.

What are the fellowship opportunities from EM? i.e. in case one gets bored or burnt out after doing these hardcore shifts.
Of course we are all familiar with our friendly midlevel gadflies- how is their increased prominence going to affect the job market for EM physicians? How about cuts to medicare? For example, radiologists are likely to see drastic drops in per-image reimbursement... does anything like that affect the EM physician?

Fellowships in ultrasound, critical care, EMS, hyperbarics, and probably some others.
The burn out concept is a myth, perpetuated by bitter FM people. The ones who burn out are those not originally trained in EM (and thus burnt out of whatever they were doing before to begin with). The shifts are no more hardcore than any other specialty (ok, maybe not derm), but I've been on much crappier medicine and surgery shifts than EM ones.

It must be hard to burn out, unless u hate EM to begin with. They usually get like 4 days off in a week. Just sleep in a day to rejuv!

Also pediatrics and sports medicine. Peds EP's makespolicy for dealing w/ peds patients. I have no idea what a sports med EP does. Anyone else know?
Second the comment about burnout and FP's. EM is still a new field, and just now med students are going in it specifically for EM.

However, keep in mind while you are at work, you are at work. It's intense. In a busy ED there is little to no time off during your 8-12 hour shift. (and by that I mean some shifts you might not eat).

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) describes the practice of Sports Medicine as focusing on the non-operative medical treatment of musculoskeletal sports conditions. While a large part of the Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) physician's practice focuses on the management of musculoskeletal injuries, the PCSM physician also evaluates and treats all medical conditions affecting the athlete (including acute illness, chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, acute injury, overuse injuries, heat illness, amenorrhea), overseas all medications the athlete takes, performs pre-participation evaluations, ensures compliance with the respective governing bodies, and oversees nutritional and rehabilitation programs. Practice opportunities for the emergency medicine trained Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) Physician are abundant and might include:
Office-Based Sports Medicine Practice: Most of these opportunities are through student health services in the university environment or through a department of orthopedic surgery or family medicine. Many orthopedic practices are beginning to realize the value of having PCSM physicians see nonoperative patients, allowing the surgeon more operative time.
Practicing primarily as an emergency physician, while utilizing your sports medicine fellowship training to provide event coverage services, for example providing medical direction for mass events like the Chicago Marathon.
Many sports medicine physicians serve as team physicians, locally or nationally. The sports medicine physician will function as part of, and often times the leader of, the sports medicine team, which might include specialty physicians and surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, coaches, and other personnel.
Academic Practice: This will include providing didactic education and clinical training for emergency medicine residents in Sports Medicine topics and the training of Sports Medicine fellows. A dual appointment between emergency medicine and orthopedic surgery or family practice is possible.
Many funding opportunities are available for sports medicine and injury research. Hot topics include gender equity, gender disparities in injury patterns and risk for injury, mechanisms of various sports related injuries, and investigation of new treatments.
