Is there any data on salaries for example epilepsy vs neurocritical vs vascular?
What are the typical hours of a ICU fellow?Yep, the only variance you're really going to see is by regional cost-of-living changes in PGY-level salaries. I don't know of any ICU programs that supplement salaries beyond the PGY level, because why would they? Also, ICU fellows at my institution are not permitted to moonlight outside the program because of their hours.

What? Moonlighting hours count towards the ACGME cap. Until recently, our fellows during their ICU blocks were up against the cap. Therefore, allowing moonlighting would risk them working over the duty hour cap. Now it isn't an issue any longer, but no one has asked.
Comparing employment terms governed by ACGME requirements to the institution of slavery is grossly hyperbolic.
