What types of practice opportunities exist for a pediatric anesthesiologist? Do any work in the NICU? What is the salary range?
 
At CMC in Dallas, two of the top PICU attendings are pedi anesthesiologists and one of them is also chairman of pedi anesthesia (Paul Sheeran). A pedi fellowship is ideal if you plan to do strictly or almost strictly pedi anesthesia.

Most contracts I have heard about are in the $350+ range even at the start with partnership money $400-$500+. The caveat is that most pedi guys have to work at a children's hospital and take all of the call that is commensurate with the hospital's size.
