If memory serves, womansurg is a chief this year. What's next, womansurg...fellowship, job, extended trip to Euorpe?

And to our other surgery residents who graciously take time to post, I don't recally offhand if any of you are chiefs, but I'd love to know what any chiefs posting here will be doing next year.

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

 

[womansurg]

Private practice in the pacific northwest.

I really worked to seek out a broad surgery practice - the kind that you can't politically cultivate in an urban area because of the subspecialty competition. I'll be working out of a rural referral hospital which services a large part of the rural portion of the state. We have interventional radiologists, nuc med/CT/MRI, plastic surgery (no butt flaps!), neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery support. We also have our own Lifeflight, and so essentially function as a Level I trauma center for that part of the state.

I'll be doing noncardiac thoracic, vascular, general, and trauma surgery. I have one partner, but share call with the five surgeons in town, so call is 1:5.

That sounds like...THE GREATEST JOB EVER!! I would imagine that you are very excited.

Methinks, as well! 🙂 My partner's looking to retire in about five years or so...c'mon out and interview.

Is that absolutely 1:5 call or will you still be taking call on "your patients (post-op, etc...)" the other 4 nights and on the 5th night taking call on all outside hits?

Normal call. Whoever is on takes all calls.
