Moonlighting as a neurologist

Did any one moonlight as a neurology resident? How did you guys find gigs. I feel like its easy as a primary care field but not so much as a neurologist.

Thanks

I did most of my moonlighting as a resident doing overnight admissions for a medicine service. Nothing to do with neurology, mostly ROMI. There is some stuff out there, like LP clinics and such. But a lot of the neurology that people want is legit consult staffing, which they want someone BC/BE to do.

I did in-house neurology moonlighting during residency. Moonlighting was only available for senior residents. We saw consults and did LPs. The consults were staffed the next day if the patients were still in the hospital. If we wanted to make a recommendation to discharge a patient from the ED, then we could, but we could also call the night staff to discuss the case.

Worked in a Doc-in-a-box (30 years ago,FWIW). I still remember the time I cured unilateral hearing loss by removing a big black cerumen encrusted cockroach from someone's ear!
