What does the actual job market landscape look like for newly minted physiatrist? How do the following domains compare in terms of demand, work-life balance, and expected compensation for an average physiatrist working an average number of hours?
- Spinal Cord Injury
- General Inpatient Rehab
- Interventional Pain
- Sports
- Peds
- Outpatient/MSK: talking to my peers and on the interview trail, this seemed to be by far the most popular area of interest. Has this led to depressed compensation?
- Occ Med jobs/Worker's comp/Med-legal
- SNF
Thinking purely in terms of an investment as opposed to love of a specific area, is there any advantage in doing a fellowship? I know the compensation for interventional pain is (for now at least) much higher than for non interventional PM&R, but does doing other fellowships result in higher compensation as well? Or in more time off?
Thank you all.
