I'm a 3rd year med-peds resident thinking about jobs for when I finish next year.
I'm considering doing all IM hospitalist, but as time goes on, I keep thinking I would like some outpatient (medicine and peds) in the mix as well.
A set up I feel would fit me well would be doing 2 weeks (10 days) of outpatient and 1 week of inpatient (7 days) per month. This way I'd still have the benefit of being at home most evenings for dinner with my family as well as having most weekends off.
Do you think this is a reasonable situation? Would anyone be likely to hire me for a set up like this? I feel I'd either have to do locums or work for two different employers to make something like this work, outside of academics (which I'm not interested in right now).
