Neurology --> Neuro Hospitalist
Isn't the residency brutal though?
From what I've heard past PGY2 it's more manageable. But yea, pgy1 and 2 are brutal.
Not a great deal IMO. Nocturnists where I will be working make close to that working 7 on/off (night).
That's just the starting pay right out of residency. It does go up from there.
That's pretty low, I've seen easily like 500K +, and no way I'm working that crappy schedule working 7 12's for 400k lol. You can make that outpatient neurology.
If you go the neurointerventionalist or critical care route, your can earn a lot more.
I got some questions about neurology but don’t want to derail the thread. Can u PM me?
Really! I am not sure that most outpatient neuro make 500k/yr
MEant you can make 400k outpatient.
Truth right here, you gotta be practical. I myself was super into Rads, did research and all in it. Slowly sinking in that don't have the gas left for training 5+ years and would like to finally do nice things for my family. It's probably IM program into nocturnist gig for me. Plus you can work at med schools as adjunct faculty once per week precepting labs and get paid a nice bonus. And you get to joke around with students and make fun of OMM.
And some people think 400K is too little lol.
I was always under the impression rads was a 3-year residency, maybe 4 years max. Is that not the case?
Rads is an unrelated intern year then 4 years of residency and basically a mandatory fellowship for 6 years total post grad training.
This is just false lol. Median numbers for GI, cards, Heme onc, anesthesia, rads, etc. are well above 400, some mid 500s. And obviously some specialties will offer 400k at much lower hours than 400k in another. Also, 400k is the sweet spot. Anything more is gravy, anything less feels like I'm getting scammed by my employers (which physicians still are I bet even if they make 700k).
It's implied that if you are employed someone is making money off you. That's how owning a business works. If you are a partner in a private practice then that's not the case, obviously.
1 year of general medicine, 4 years of rads related so 5 years
this is easily found in this forum in a lot of threads.
Okay well obviously if you mean all physicians, then the numbers are skewed to primary care docs, because every school matches like 40 percent + to primary care. That's why there's salary information based on specialty, and hence I am asking what I did on this thread.
Never heard that it reflects higher workloads. What I have heard is the number often reflects all the bonuses etc. And it seems much more likely the median roughly correlates with the median number of hours worked in specialty, while 75th, 90th percentile numbers are the ones due to increased work hours or worse location, mix of both.
It's all about supply and demand my friend. Nothing more and nothing less. There is a reason working in a big city earns you way less than working in a smaller town. And even then, it doesn't matter how high your salary is, there will always be someone making money off of you, and you will always be taken advantage of. That's how business works, and a Hospital or a clinic is nothing but a business. If you wanna get what you're worth, then go into private practice.
It’s actually not. Medicine doesn’t follow the supply and demand process. You clearly don’t understand the economics of medicine
Enlighten me then!
300 isn't a lot. Also, how is that not sustainable. Sounds average hours for medicine. Just need a social worker to deal with that side of things.
I am new to this game (just graduated a month ago), but I have heard people said being a hospitalist is not sustainable on the long run. But I think 1 week on/off seems to be one of the best schedules for work-life balance. Lets what I think in 6 months.
Hard to tell. Haven't started rotations. I'll see in a year. I'm willing to put up with more BS in a specialty if it pays more, of course.
