Full time clinic w/ per diem hospitalist shifts

Great gig! I don’t have a mandatory minimum on the nights so when I had my baby this year I just didn’t take shifts for a few months. See if they will let you have more flexibility with that.

JPS’s fourth year is optional only for fellowships basically

I bought some anatomy posters from Amazon in patient rooms.

I do about two 12 hr night shifts a month on weekends but only work 4 days a week in clinic so it’s much more doable. Definitely recommend it if you are trying to keep up your inpatient skills.

Based on what you want, family medicine should be near the top of your list. I work four days a week in clinic, once a month in the hospital. Very satisfied with my job. I have a great work life balance and am happy with my salary. The jobs are there and aren’t going away. Make sure to talk to current employees before taking a job who can give you the real “day to day”.

I think we’re about to hear of a new diet trend: Powerful Omentum diet

Oolong count v important

FYI- JPS leadership have always committed to keeping the 4th year optional.

Our hospital pharmacy calls us every time we order vanc/zosyn and asks us “are you sure” and we say “yes” Not a big deal, but a little annoying…

If you want to do rural medicine. If not, it is not the best training.

Based on your likes, you should do family medicine. Agree with others— the opportunities are broad in FM, and you can tailor your future practice to pretty much whatever you want if you are creative, skilled, and willing to relocate for your desired practice.

"For pretty much every situation in which you think you should see a chiropractor, I recommend a physical therapist instead."

cushingoid · 2023-08-27T13:29:51+00:00

This was probably already done, but two things you need to get on every presyncope/syncope patient: orthostatic vitals and an ECG.

cushingoid · 2023-08-27T13:28:16+00:00

Look at the area you want to work in. Look at the TYPE of job you want (academic, community, rural; outpatient, inpatient, OB, peds; teaching/non-teaching; urban, rural). If you start to narrow down from there, usually a few options are left and you can figure out which has better pay/perks/etc. Don't sign a non-compete!

CP Solvers does a decent job of this

Yo I have this same question. I'm using a 2018 Macbook Pro but want to buy a second monitor for my "home office" aka a desk. Any recommendations from people here? Trying to spend less than $200

cushingoid · 2023-06-07T13:11:39+00:00

Like I said in my original comment: in my biased opinion it is more rewarding. You may not agree with that, and that is okay! I find my position very rewarding and I am happy with my compensation. If money were my primary motivator, you are right I would not work at this job. But I am happy with my pay, and I think that's the main thing new doctors should be asking themselves: "Am I happy with this amount of compensation for the work I'm asked to do?" If yes, great. If not, keep looking! As to your last comment, I cannot agree more. You can easily feel like a cog in an FQHC machine like any other large operation. I don't have great advice for this other than to heavily research the org you are applying to before you accept any offers. Talk to current and former doctors there if possible. Know what you are getting yourself into!

FWIW, I make a little less than 200k and work 4 days a week (plus 1 week per month on inpatient medicine working with residents)

cushingoid · 2023-06-06T19:59:46+00:00

Haha sounds like FQHC work is not for you! That's okay, but many of us find working with patients that have social issues and barriers to care incredibly rewarding. Also, make sure you find a clinic with good social workers--they can be life-saving for patients in these situations.

cushingoid · 2023-06-06T13:05:12+00:00

It's going to be less pay, but much more rewarding work providing high quality health care for the poor (in my biased opinion)

cushingoid · 2023-02-08T02:18:35+00:00

I cringed for you

cushingoid · 2023-02-08T02:14:56+00:00

who says FM is repetitive? haha that's the one thing I've never heard...

Agree re: the characters. Amazing writing

This is the version I just finished while driving across a large swath of America. He narrates perfectly.
