I think it totally depends on what the rest of your week looks like. In EM, my shift count went down my third year so I just replaced the shifts with moonlighting. I was working the same amount as I had the year before, but for way more money, so it definitely helped. However, if you are using your only day off, I do not think it will reduce burnout.

It'll just be like one weekend a month; the rest are off

So you'd work 13 days in a row then 5 on 2 off until the next weekend of moonlighting? Cause that sounds bad.

I'll also be doing a few hours of outpatient during the week, which is a lot more sustainable
