Considering the fact that doing a fellowship in trauma/cc seems to be evolving into an increasingly popular idea, I would have expected it to be easier to find out more about the pay.
For instance, the trauma surgeons that I know take in-house "trauma call" on an average of 1-2 times/week. They work in a teaching hospital and so are also responsible for teaching surgery residents. In addition, they also maintain full-time schedules with their private practice.
So, considering all of this, what would be a reasonable estimate of their yearly income?
I would like to do trauma, but what I'm wondering is would it be worth undergoing 2 additional years of trauma/cc fellowship, especially considering that CT is also 2 additional years.
If you have ANY information/opinions/advice/etc... regarding trauma surgery, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
