Hi all
I am an R1 (PGY-2). I do love radiology. I have to say, I am fortunate enough that our program (or our chiefs) have some pretty good moonlighting opportunities for us, but as an R1 they are still limited to contrast coverage. These are great gigs, but I am afraid my current financial needs are not met (or met with difficulty).
I was wondering if anyone had thought (or actually did) moonlight in the urgent care shops? I had a very solid IM training as a prelim year and I think I could swing it without any issue. I personally dread the IM way of doing medicine, writing notes and seeing patients, but 1 or 2 day a month would greatly help my finances. This won't help my radiology training, but until moonlighting is better, where I can actually read stuff (and not just do contrast coverage), I was thinking this could be an option.
Thoughts and opinions?
Thank you folks.
