I don't actually know what the subspecialists are like in academics. If we have anyone in ortho/uro/ENT lurking they may be able to answer that question. I do not think the lifestyle in academics will be better or easier, just different. I suspect they still have pretty regular call burdens because those specialties can't share their call with general surgery like surg-onc can and I don't think they typically have a fellowship dedicated just to call like we do with trauma/acute care surgery.
So my guess is, not much different on the call front between academics and non-academic. But I don't actually know.
