The last thread died in 2020, and there have been 1 or 2 changes since then. So let's get a new thread going. How I envision this - if you're HM post your gig in the format below (modify it however you want). We can talk about offers and jobs and help answer questions that students, residents or hospitalists may have. I expect this thread to highlight the great deal of pay disparity in HM and let people see what makes jobs desirable versus not. What I don't want - don't turn this into a weiner measuring contest of networth, $ in a bank account, # of btc or anything like that. It makes the thread get cluttered and isn't applicable to everyone. For example, my older brother is a super saver and lives like a peasant but makes $500k+/yr so he has millions of dollars saved. I on the other hand like shiny stuff so I have a lot less saved, but that doesn't inherently mean my job/life is worse than his. Or better.
Job type: Academic vs community (% time with residents)
Job set up: Nights/rounding/admits
Average day:
Average census:
Average # admits:
Midlevel supervision?:
When are you usually done with your day:
# shifts/year:
$income/year:
Total income/year (include 401k matching, CME if you want):
Anything else?:
Here's me:
Job type: Academic 100% with community nonteaching extra shifts
Job set up: Academic gig - rounding + admits, 30% nights. Community shifts - rounding only, no nights
Average day: Academic - 8am-5pm, but the residents do everything. Community shifts - 8am-5pm, can not round and go, but I'm done by 2pm usually
Average census: Academic - 14, Community - 14-16, the lists cap at 16 and we bring in an extra team
Average # admits: Academic - 2-3, Community - 0
Midlevel supervision?: No
When are you usually done with your day: 5pm
# shifts/year: Academic - 150 12 hour shifts. Community shifts are 10 hours and pay $2000/shift
$income/year: Academic - $355k/yr, this year I have 50 extra shifts scheduled so I'll make $455k working 200 days total.
Total income/year (include 401k matching, CME if you want): Without extra shifts: $390k/yr, with my extra shifts I'll touch $500k in 2024.
Anything else?: My group is amazing, and we can work stretches of 5 or 10 as the standard scheduling. So I do 10 on, 5 off and then have a couple 4 week breaks each year.
@Splenda88 - get in here. Also, anything to add to the format?
