Sure, if you like to use your first year resident skills of wound care and injections and PPMR.
Maybe you'll find a diabetic hallux fracture or a diabetic bunion in the C&C mix every few months. 🙂

200k C&C for in PP vs 250k+ C&C in hospital with 6 weeks of PTO. I think we know where they will go lol.
 
How many hours a week do you guys work on average? Just trying to gauge expected hours in the real life scenario after residency.

In my PP I recently quit.

8-4:30pm seeing patients and charting Monday - Friday. (My patients usually come early so I leave by 3:30 most days)
Surgery every other Friday 7-3pm.
My commute is 45 minutes due to Gfs wanting to live in nicer area.

-On call start 1 hour earlier for rounding/consults. Emergent consults 1 a month +5 hours(waiting for everyone to come in).
-On call surgery either start Me at 7 am or 4:45pm.

I do about 39-53 hours a week with the call BS, I use lunch hour to do paperwork so I added that in. Not too bad. It feels like a holiday week of residency lol.
 
60ish hours to do 10k RVUs?

Clinic 8 to 5MtuThu
Every other Friday AM, add on cases for Friday (infection trauma) a few times a month
Elective Surgery Wednesday
Usually 1 hour of notes when wake up at 5AM, then another 1 or 2 hours of notes at night. I see 15 plus new MSK patients a day( no nails sorry Beatrice)...they take time. So don't get many notes done during the day. I can definitely be more efficient....I spend maybe a other 15- 20 hours a month doing inpatient cases after clinic (fortunately almost always at 5pm as first add on on) and rounding.

8 minutes walk to work screw commute.

Do you have a dictation? I dictate then put it through chat gpt to do soap format. It’s efficient as ****. My new commute is 5 minutes or 20 minute depending on location.
 
Dax AI tool for note writing (Epic) has been a gamechanger for me.
 
My hospital system is going to start some type of AI.... But I don't trust it and I don't think it's going to work. I think I bill at a really high level. As in majority level four. Everything I'm seeing right now is chronic musculoskeletal problems I have old x-rays to review I have old ER follow-ups to view I have Labs, imaging referral notes etc all this data. A good note demonstrates what's going through your mind it's not just recounting what was said out loud. You are thinking out loud on a piece of paper. I don't think that's something a scribe can capture I don't think that's something that AI can capture. So I look at it as a trade-off. If I want to bill all these level fours my notes need to be complete and discuss what I'm thinking about what I'm seeing what I've reviewed why I reviewed it how it affects what's going on. I'm not writing a novel but I'm not just scribbling a couple sentences.

Now I guess in theory this AI should know that I clicked on an old lab I clicked on a referral note I clicked on this or that.... And then all these things meet the 2021 e&m coding guidelines and yeah that's how you get to whatever level
 
Mon-Thursday 7-4 with notes done and out the door by 5ish pm. Almost always home by 530.

Friday 7-until I'm done with elective cases. Usually 2-3pm and out the door.

I always work my lunch hour. Usually rounding or add on quick lunch surgery.

Almost never a later than 5PM case or weekend case. <1 a month of these - I'm simply not doing it unless it's a true gas/necrotizing infection. I will do an I&D or aggressive debridement bedside day before then go to OR next morning.

I dont work weekends so they ship emergency out or it waits until Monday.

I am between 750-1000 RVU a month over the last 6 months.

I got a sweet gig. Im very happy.
- - -

I agree with Airbud on AI. Billing would go down.

I do think it would be very helpful for HPI section. If verbalized physical exam in front of patient that would be helpful too but I have a lot of templets that take seconds to create/alter

- - -

Duke job looks awesome. Im sure they will hire one of their fellows and they have to legally post the position.

13 years out. PP owner. I work 8-4 3 days a week. Half day Friday. Half day Monday plus surgery in the afternoon twice a month. I used to work more but now I'm lazy/coasting. I collect about 50k/month. I would work more hours if it actually meant making more money. At some point there is a rate of diminishing returns, unfortunately. If I had patients lining up for me I'd have no problem working more hours.

Also 13 years out, PP owner (solo).
I have patients lining up... and I still don't work more. 🙂
Should work more, get bigger office, hire associate/partner, get another location, etc... but I do not.

Echo on diminishing returns, burns out self, burns out staff.
(I'm at 8-4 on four days/wk, bit of admin and team lunch Fridays, start weekend early). Collect about 40k/mo gross typically.

Critical access hospital employed. 30-35 hours per week. 8-5 M-W, OR Thursday and I leave when cases are done. If it’s a light OR day I’ll throw in some office procedures back in clinic on a Thursday. I only work 4 days a week outside of the occasional Friday add on case or rounding. I can count on one hand the number of times I’m at the hospital past 5pm in a year. I don’t really have any meaningful call responsibilities.

30 patients on Mon when I cover wound care clinic in the AM. 20-25 patients on Tues and Wed. I cap my clinic so I don’t have to work too hard and in the fall I’ll block out the last 1-2 appointment slots so I can coach kids football teams. 600-800 wRVU per month.

I fully admit this is not a normal schedule. I’m sure I work less and play more than most people around here. I figure my $450-500k income is enough, no need to work more (I’m straight production at $60 per wRVU).

God damn 14 per month. That's half the time
 
Crazy thing is that’s probably considered low for many orthopedic surgeons. But being honest they deserve to get paid more for the amount of work they put in to get into and do well in med school. Then a 5 year grueling residency followed by 1-2 years of fellowship.

Podiatry should not expect to be paid like ortho if we are being real. We have very limited scope comparatively and can’t take general orthopedic trauma call. It’s just not the same.

I’m gonna hard check you right there boss. Podiatry is a hidden gem with a direct surgical route. APMA/CPME said number of diabetics is increasing. So pick your nearest Waffle House and open your office across the street, watch the dollars roll in. You can sub specialize in any thing although there isn’t really any formal fellowships besides advanced limb salvage and orthoplastics. Sub specializations in Podiatric Dermatogy, Podiatric Orthopedics, podiatric vascular referral doc, podiatric wound care, podiatric pediatrics, podiatric sports medicine, podiatric education where you can make 150k a year selling the dream of 300-350k a year for everyone.

Stop trashing a profession without doing research on how well we are trained and basically. certain residents in NYC would argue amputations are just as difficult as removing a glioblastoma. Should be making 1.3million ngl. I wanna see a brain surgeon un**** a Charcot diabetic foot at 2am. Laminectomy scamictomy.

No. Nobody cares. If it's private practice they don't care, they just want you to work for the peanuts they offer and follow their protocols. If it's a hospital they have no idea what it means.

How do you get privileges to do bigger cases at hospitals then like TARs, frames, etc.?

My hospital requires 5-10 cases in training for privileges. I only did 2 TARs and not confident at all. I did 20ish ankle fusions/TTC and am confident.
I applied for that’s, but not TARs. Hospitals usually send you a checkbox sheet for what surgical procedures you want to get privileged for. Some will not include it if they don’t want you doing it.

My current hospital is very supportive in full scope. My previous one was not.

I think we're talking about just getting a job right now. Nobody gives a crap about your numbers because they don't mean anything to anybody That's not how you get a job.

This can vary extremely based on location/politics.

I know a couple of my classmates who did MAYBE couple TTC nails, bimal/trimal and some elective rearfoot stuff in residency and now do more than most who had more extensive training.

I also know visa versa who are pretty overtrained and don’t really do any now.

The biggest difference/obstacle is what hospital you’re going to be affiliated with and who is on the privileging staff there.

If there’s an ortho gatekeeping-hating podiatry there (tends to be bigger institutions), good luck. Higher likelihood they will gate keep it and limit you. I know/heard of a couple institutions that won’t let pod touch trauma/rearfoot regardless of quality/cert. Yes, ofcourse you can lawyer up but is it even worth it?

Smaller hospital with no ortho/limited/pod friendly providers (or they don’t wanna do LE trauma/call/ trade off for taking the dirty stuff)? Much higher likelihood they’ll let you do whatever you want with typical residency numbers or subpar.

Atleast that’s my experiences fresh out of residency/what I’ve seen and heard.

Correct. First referral to my office I got for ankle ORIF out of residency was a medicaid diabetic with contralateral AKA. If ortho is giving it up, there's a damn good reason for it, it's not because they're nice or too busy. Ortho is never too busy for more money.

The point is locations like this are really what is available for new resident graduates to work. You can't get a hospital job almost anywhere like most MD/DO specialties.
 
Let's just do this quarterly reminder about everybody should be jumping on this job in Maine. Work for a hospital. You know how much easier it is to get a job in a better location when you say hey I worked at a hospital I was the only person for a 50 mi radius I did everything that walked through the door from diabetic ulcers to bunions and hammer toes to fractures. I didn't have other specialist to refer to, I had to learn to learn to appropriately diagnose treat and refer when necessary more complex patients related to infectious disease, vascular disease, etc. this is how you get a job. This is how you stand out when you're applying for jobs. Hey I survived for 3 years out on an island doing everything myself with one hand tied behind my back had good outcomes this is what I learned this is how I learned.
 
Offer in East Coast, appears to be on those big acquisition groups.

No call, only rotating practice call. Operate at surgery center but credentialed at the nearby hospital. First yr is base salary 140-150k, once you hit 500k collections then you get 30% of collections. Second yr is only collections (30% of 500k, 750k 34%, etc.). Any dme is part of collections.

After getting 600k collections each year after 2 yrs is when you can become a partner with buy in 25k at least and the acquisition group will match that (it is a loan but paid back in contribution). Benefits include: 401k (need to be with them for 1 yr then they will start matching), malpractice, cme 1k (also has in house cme), pto (10 days for first year, 15 for second year, etc.), no healthcare paid (has hsa plans), short term disability paid.

What do you guys think? I hate the benefit structure.

The production incentives are dog****. No healthcare is a nonstarter for me. They want you to collect all these wild amounts but can't even give you health insurance? Plus the whole acquisition partner stuff seems off. Like do you become a bigger partner with bigger investments? What's the benefit of partnership

That's terrible.
For some quick math:
500k is 3.33x your base of 150k.

Straight 30% of 500k is still only 150k for your 2nd year- so you're making essentially the same as your 1st year
Their overhead to add you should be minimal besides base salary +benefits + credentialing etc because they're not adding any additional rent space + staff.

There's also no way to know if you'll hit 500k collections if they don't have patients ready for you to see as soon as you join.
If you're responsible for building your own clientele and only starting with 8-10 patients a day, no way you're gonna hit that number.

Edit: Just realized healthcare isn't included which could be 5k+ a year.

They said they have patients ready for me because one of the partners is retiring so I will be responsible for seeing their patients. I also asked to check the books or have more insight on how easy it is to collect 500k.

There's no guarantee those patients will want you, especially if they're used to a different doctor
 
My favorite is the in-house CME

Here you go. You can have the above offer or you can have a hospital offering 300k base guarantee for 3 years, let's say $45 per RVU, 20K signing bonus 20K moving stipend 5% 401K match, healthcare, dental paid... Now You see why your data is going to be worthless?

You will not see the Grand canyon wide disparity in other specialties in terms of job offers. And to be clear, this will be an accepted job offer by somebody.

Thanks, I appreciate you marking me on this.

Key point here, I wouldn't say this means my data will be worthless at all. I WOULD say that, if the results pan out to show a bimodal distribution of compensation as we might see, this would support treating the profession as two different "things" for the purpose of "You'll make $X as a podiatrist!". To put it another way, it would mean that reporting an overall compensation average AS a single average WOULD be problematic and misleading.
