So I was talking with some friends the other day and The topic of acute care surgery lifestyle came up. With that, some questions popped up in my head so I figured I'd make a post about it.
I've seen some of the schedules that acute care surgeons have, but I've also been told there are numerous models that they can go by. I was also wondering if this same model could apply to other surgical specialties as well. So with that in mind, my questions:
1. What are some common and unique example work schedules that acute care/trauma surgeons go by?
2. Same as number 1 but with other surgical specialties? Like neuro, ortho, CT,etc.
3. Could the acute care model be applied to other surgical specialties as well? Like a neurosurgeon doing a week on neuro icu for a week, then a week for trauma/emergency neuro stuff, then electives? Would it work like that at all with the others; Ortho, vascular, ct?
Thanks for your time.
