Hospitalist side gig for the off week

Hey, any ideas about side gigs for the week off for a hospitalist to make extra money? (Something flexible and less stressful for the week off)

I heard about one hospitalist reading PFT’s from his home for a hospital. How would I find something like this? Any other suggestions?

This is a great way to burn out really, really quickly, IMO. My hospitalists colleagues say that their "on" weeks are brutal, and the off week is very much needed.

you could cover GIM shifts for someone . Look for a help wanted part time gig . As long as they don’t pay you benefits and PTO, I’m sure a reasonable and fair hourly wage can be agreed on. Covering GIM isn’t bad . Address the acute issues and provide appropriate referrals and follow up main internist for screening and complex psycho social issues . GIM isn’t so annoying when you realize you can bill for your time (higher office code for more time spent now )

As for pfts - dunno . Hospitals probably want board certified pulm or allergy to do that . Private groups will read their own pfts .
