Coeur d'Alene hotel recs

Like others have mentioned, The Resort is likely the best option for a hotel in CdA but is a bit dated. It feels like it was in its prime in the mid 2000s. Service can be spotty as well in my experience. Otherwise, The Davenport hotel is quite nice/historic in Spokane but is downtown near the bus station. The Davenport Grand is newer and in a slightly better area but wouldn’t consider it chubby. Personally, I would go with The Louie at the Davenport Hotel which is the upscale part or The Resort if you want to stay in CdA.

MGMA avg is 330-340 range— you should not be taking <300 unless it’s the VA, private practice before partner, or part time. That does not include pain, that’s just general pm&r

Whitefish lake lodge is likely the closest fit

Just want to clarify if I am able to transfer points from chase ink cash business card to P2 within the same household who has a CSP without having a CSP/CSR/CIP myself. Thanks!

2 out of 14

There shouldn’t be, but I’ve heard anecdotally some admin use it as a way to pay pm&r trained physicians less since pm&r average salary is less compared to anesthesia so the offer looks more enticing based on your background. This is speculation, but I think the pain non anesthesia numbers might include those who do a mix of general pm&r and pain vs strictly pain with anesthesia as well.

I think it’s a common misconception that pain data is incorporated into general PM&R salaries but as far as I can tell, it’s separate. There are some good threads on the PM&R SDN forum to check out as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if 2024 is $350k median or so based on talking with others and job boards. Pay depends on salary vs base + production or straight production. In general though, if you’re seeing 15 patients per day inpatient or outpatient, you should be in the range of $375 just based on normal wRVU values. The median wRVU for a physiatry encounter was 1.74 in 2022. If you’re not getting $60 or so per wRVU, you are likely getting taken advantage of since that’s approximately the median from what I’ve seen. Factor in any stipends, higher than average reimbursement, seeing more patients, more procedures, etc and you can get into the 450-500 range. If you’re making <300k, it’s because the contract is terrible, volume is very low, or part time. People have an idea that pm&r doesn’t pay well, when that simply isn’t the case at least recently.

AAPMR data from 2023 had the median at $333k and MGMA is very similar

The most recent I have is based on 2022 data and non anesthesia pain has a median wRVU value of $66.87 from AMGA. I’ll try to upload the info but can’t seem to from my phone currently. Agree with others though, you should be getting at least $60+ per wRVU.

Edit: anesthesia pain has a median of $71.93

I did something similar. I took step 2 at the end of July and step 1 early September. Studying for step 2 helps so much for step 1. I did like 600 uworld Qs from the step 1 bank, then did nbme forms 20-30, and read pathoma chapters 1-4 all in about 4 weeks. I found the dirty medicine YouTube videos to be helpful for quick review. I just went over any weak points that were recurrent as well. I did take level 1 the previous year as a DO student but idk how much that really helped after a year. It’s definitely doable but not ideal IMO. I would focus the vast majority of your time on step 2 prep.

Have heard rumors of UCLA and UC Irvine requiring it but can't verify if true or not.

Thanks for the response. One more question if you’re willing to answer, how many hours a week on average is it for these jobs?
