I'd like to hear which one you'd prefer and why!
I'm looking to go to academics due to my research. My concern is not money but reducing clinical hours for research. Does anyone know how much this is possible, or do you generally still need to work the same number of hours and/or get only a minimal hour reduction?
I doubt you are going to get a reduced clinical workload to do research, at least not in a 3 year program. Now, if you do a 4 year ACGME program, the fourth year has to be justified to the ACGME as to why the program is a 4 year program in the first place, rather than 3 years. So if you find a 4 year program that has extra time for research, you'll essentially spread out your clinical load and have more time for research that way. But in general, expect to work just as much as everyone else.
You generally work less at any academic program simply because of the RRC 28 hour rule (if you're core). So you're only at 112 per month. And if you get some kind of buydown (grants, pharma money, BJs, whatever), then you can work less at the same income level. And academic places are a little better about letting people work part time. YMMV though.I'm looking to go to academics due to my research.

At our institution, as you go up in academic rank, your pay increases and your contracted hours decrease. Depending on your CV and what you bring to the table, you may be able to bargain down time (usually in increments of 100 hours/year, or a shift/month) or get lab space or staff (though those last are probably only going to go to those with R01's or similar.I'm looking to go to academics due to my research.

The big brass ring of NIH grants. If you were starting out and had a K, that would also give you leverage (because they pay for 75% of your time).Sorry, what does R01 mean?
