Hi,
I will be attending medical school in the fall. As it stands now, I am quite interested in the area of trauma surgery in a level 1 trauma facility. I know that my interests will change many times before it is all over. However, I am quite interested in learning about trauma surgery. Specifically, how would a trauma suregeon's lifestyle compare to that of say a general surgeon? What about hours worked per week compared between the two? Do trauama surgeons have a relative difficulty finding jobs in Level 1 centers? Also, I am quite interested in learning how the average yearly compensation compares, as I have not been able to find much info on dedicated trauma surgeons salaries.
Thanks to all who can help,
Jason
