What is the outlook for peds as a private attending? It seems, but of course I'm not sure, that most of the complicated sick peds cases that need a fellowship-trained anesthesiologist are going to be in your tertiary care centers. Is there much market for peds in the private practice world? I'm interested in peds fellowship, but I don't know if you get relegated to either working in academics or not really using your knowledge/skills (i.e., taking care of relatively healthy 2yr olds that anyone should be able to do). Also, people talk about how they couldn't handle the stress of peds. Is that just the day-to-day of taking care of sick and tiny kids, or is there something else to peds anesthesia practice that I"m missing? Thanks for answers in advance.
