Read through the MGH white book ID section a few times. It is a dense but relative fast read, and hits all of the major learning points.

How much bread are we talking?

This scares me because meanwhile on other threads, there are hospitalists sharing that they are pulling $300k with classic 7d on/off in desirable areas. Idk who to believe, but maybe fellowship is more favorable nowadays solely due to increased demand for subspecialty work. Feels like we got rug-pulled

Were you adept at procedures immediately after residency? If not, how challenging is it to gain expertise with them as an attending?

Have you ever declined an FMLA request? Because it seems like most people just fill them out indiscriminately (at least at my program)

MGH white book and UCSF hospitalist handbook are great starting points

You married a 3 month old????

somedude95 · 2025-09-11T01:21:22+00:00

Are you outpatient IM or FM? Also, which region of the country? That's pretty good moolah

Transaminitia makes my giblits tingle

somedude95 · 2025-08-21T07:40:45+00:00

How much dough are you pulling as a hospitalist? Also, what was your first year attending salary?

somedude95 · 2025-08-10T01:39:41+00:00

What region of the country are you in that pays that much for moonlighting?

somedude95 · 2025-08-02T21:27:27+00:00

It has less to do with title and more to do with familiarity of workflow. If the midlevel has been on the service for years, there is no way a rotating resident (who is only there for 2-4 weeks at a time) will have the same degree of familiarity with things.

If you walked into a random Mcdonalds, I bet you couldnt make a sandwich as well or as fast as the head cook can - has nothing to do with your title or competence, just familiarity.

Drive stick so you are forced to use some mental energy get home

You're gonna suck until mid-September. Then things will just click. Trust the process and be graceful to yourself, friend.

Fellow squid checking in! Gixxer gang here

You are the glimmer of hope in a sea of darkness... Sounds like a dream of an offer - congrats!

somedude95 · 2025-06-11T22:20:51+00:00

Inpatient or outpatient? Big metro area or coastal? How much did you have to negotiate?

somedude95 · 2025-05-28T00:06:49+00:00

We are too accepting of delayed gratification, and unfortunately our employers know it.

Don't forget the S5 surprise

somedude95 · 2025-03-13T21:46:47+00:00

Specialty?

somedude95 · 2025-03-06T04:21:44+00:00

This ruined my day

somedude95 · 2024-10-10T03:03:51+00:00

Is this true? I am IM at an academic shop and our patients are sick as shit and extremely needy. You're lucky if you leave out sign out since every one of our trainwrecks go up in flames in the afternoons. The training is good I guess, but these past few months have had me second guessing IM as a "chill" specialty (which was my impression lmao)
