How many cases are you doing per month????

[panetrain]

For all you full time private practice people out there doing 100% your own cases, how many cases are you doing in a month? I have heard the national average is around 80 cases? I have no evidence or literature to substantiate this number. Right now, my partners and I are doing roughly 120 cases/Month/each (not including epidurals). If your including epidurals as cases please note as such in your answer. Thank you.

I only average about 60/month but I am below the norm for our group. I give away a lot of call. On mission trips though, I can do more than 50 cases in 4 days. Of course I pay for that privilege. You CAN have an above average life with below average pay.

You CAN have an above average life with below average pay.

How?

Another factor to note is that all of my cases are performed in a hospital OR setting, no surgery centers. This may reduce the total number of monthly cases compared to surgery center practitioners????

How?

I think he's talking about touchy-feely stuff like happiness and blueberries.

Except blueberries are expensive this time of year, so I don't know.

Yes, happiness. And I can still afford blueberries, even the $5/pint organic ones at Whole Foods.

Residency runs from 0 (sicu) to 100+ on peds. What kind of residency numbers did you guys pull? I'm talkin GA or MAC.

I don't do my own cases. I work with CRNAs. Just doing some math, I'd say they average about 80 a month each.

120 sounds very high, unless you do a lot of oupatient or peds. How many hours do you work a week? Do you get paid based on the number of cases you do?

We do about 50% outpatient, 50% inpatient. Less than 5% peds. Getting it all done in about 52 hours/week.

I belong to 100% MD group. I do all my own cases. Anywhere from 2 cases a day(if doing robotic prostate or joint revision) to 9 a day if doing knee scopes or endos. Overall average 120 a month if you include late days and one or two weekend days a month.

Probably more useful to compare unit totals. In my practice, medium sized group, level 2 trauma center, full timers do 700-1100 units/month depending on how hard they want to work.
