No. Less pay, more stress.

The only lucrative fellowship in anesthesia is pain if you don't mind dealing with drug addicts. Everything else is a waste of time.

How about intraop TEE through Cardiac fellowship. I was curious since this is becoming ACGME approved this next year.

I wonder if you would be more in demand if you were to do an extra year of regional (although not a true fellowship). Where I'm at, the regional fellow will do blocks for two days a week, OR for two days as well as an "academic" day. He gets paid as 1/2 time faculty (>$100,00). Sounds like a pretty cool deal. I wonder how helpful that would be in landing a good job in those orthopod heavy practices located in desirable places in the country.

It MIGHT make you a better doctor. Doubt it will help you land a job.

Most people spend the early months of practice learning the vagaries of their particular job. Why spend a year getting paid a third or a quarter of market rates? They will probably do things differently at your chosen practice anyway.
