Pulmo + Sleep medicine

[chemamr]

hi, I wonder if you guys know about this: (after doing IM+Pulmonology+sleep medicine)

1) how is lifestyle, number of hours/week? emergencies?
2) what's the average salary?, I've found info regarding pulmo only, but not with sleep med.
3) any trend or comment regarding this sub+sub is welcome, I haven't had the good fortune to know a pulmonologist subspecialized in sleep med, so I have no information about it.

thanks guys

while pulmonology alone sucks- getting sleep with that is a smart decision.
the sleep work is verly 'dooable' plus has strong cash returns- it pays by a factor of 3.6 while critical care pays by 4.0-not too bad? eh?
plus will give you a lot of time to ski,sleep! or travel!

get sleep boarded if you like sleep - the ABIM just adopted Sleep from ABMS, so, if you aren't in a dedicated sleep fellowship (which usually requires a year of sleep), then you have until 2010 to see 400 sleep pts, read 200 PSGs, and 50 MSLTs
check out the ABIM website for aa the info (new this past fall)
