Surgery Resident Moonlighting?

[JohnMadden]

Does anyone know if surgical residents moonlight at other institutions? (Not surgery, but perhaps medicine?

Thanks!

the only way you can really moonlight as a surgical resident is during your "research years" if you choose to do research (which is often for 1 or 2 years, AFTER years 2 or 3 of residency).

during my research, yes, i was moonlighting.
most of my co-residents did as well.

during the clinical years of residency, its not feasable (and wouldn't even be possible).

Most programs prohibit it except during laboratory years, regardless of whether its as a surgical houseofficer or medical.
