How many units do you work in private practice?

Hi all,

Just wondering how many units people in private practice are working? I'm in academics currently, and have limited private practice experience, but am assigned to give a talk to the residents. I used to work around 1000-1100 units per month, but not sure if that is low average or high, and don't know if this was average in this area only (Southern CA). That was with a hospital group. Anyone with input please give any perspectives. Thanks.

I think average of 1000 units a month is about right. In a fairly busy practice and with cardiac surgery, one could probably go up to 1500 or even 1600 a month. I know I have maxed out at 2100 in one really busy month where I did 15 hearts and a bunch of ortho, general stuff in addition. Average guy in a slow practice might do 750 to 800 points a month.

Thanks for the reply. Yipes, 2000+ for the month sounds pretty crazy.
