Review Article - Help Needed

[Anes2010]

I'm finishing up residency and have taken a job in private practice, where I will be doing primarily pain medicine and occasional time spent in the OR. I realized that I will never finish all the projects that I set out to complete during residency. So, if there are any interested medical students out there looking for a publication, let me know. I'm looking for some help drafting a review article on a pain medicine subject. Please send me a PM with your email address if you are interested and I will discuss the project a bit further. This is ideal for a MS1-MS3 who knows they want to go into anesthesia (or ultimately do pain) and has some time. The research for the article shouldn't take very long, and I would like to submit the article in the next few weeks/months.

love it. outsourcing scut. but, why in the world would you care to publish in private practice?

I'll answer your question, even though I think you don't really care and like to be an e-jerk.

I did my anesthesiology residency and am finishing my pain fellowship. I wrote "residency" in my initial post because I entered anesthesia planning on doing pain, so I have looked at all 5 years (internship/residency/fellowship) as "residency" because I knew all along this would be my path. I've published a ton of articles on pain in my residency and fellowship. As to why a future private practice doc would like another publication... My practice will initially be a mix of OR anesthesia and pain. As my pain practice gets busier I can "buy" my time out of the OR and do pain only. I will depend on referals from the community for patients. The more publications I have, the more lectures and chapters I have written, the easier it is to build a practice. But you obviously have no clue about that.

I don't view this offer as "scut". I have a topic already picked out, have a bunch of background articles in .pdf format, and have already spoken with a journal editor who is a friend/colleague who wants to publish the article when it is complete. I'm offering some eager person a first-author publication status for what will only probably be a week's worth of effort.

Hopefully this has answered your question. Thanks for the sarcastic reply...

If i would have been in the states, i would have grabbed this opportunity. And still would have, if i would not have been dead busy with my step 1 right now. I would have offered the OP email collabration. =).
