May I ask if this is 1) in a rural, urban or suburban area and 2) what is the schedule like (e.g. M-F job 8-5pm?). Also interested in general cardiology with focus on outpatient/clinic and imaging. Thanks!
Urban/suburban in the Midwest, 3 days of clinic, half day admin, 1 day responsible for procedures (mainly tee) and reading the box (echo nukes). Call 1 week every 6 weeks, where you cover the inpatient consults and read inpatient echoes/nukes/tees.
Nice. How about Weeknight and weekend on call?
Taking 1 in 6 weeks means taking night and weekend call as well. Weekends is reading the inpatient box and rounding on consults. No expectations to come in at night unless patient is unstable and if it's ACS that falls to the interventional guy, supposedly (eg even nstemi/ua should be seen by interventional overnight/weekend). Not sure how it'll actually pan out in practice. If someone wants a stat echo overnight, I need to ok it, but we have echo techs on call to perform the study, including off hours on the weekend.
This right there coupled with fairly equal IC and Gen salaries makes anyone who chooses IC these days crazy imo. Sounds like a good gig.
That’s is nice. So apart from that week, evenings and weekends are free.
no idea, if it's like fellowship, RN will call for normal results and if abnormal, it'll fall on me.
Could you message me that pdf?
