I was just hoping to get some clarification on the general practice models for people interested in doing Pulm + Crit. I am interested in doing both. When I look at the CCM-only jobs, they're generally "7 on/7 off" or "~15 shift/month" which sounds very reasonable. But when I see job listings for Pulm + Crit, they're often somewhere closer to "2 weeks clinic + 1 week ICU," and it's not clear to me if the 4th week in the month is meant to be your off-week after the ICU, or if it's a 3 week-long rotation and you rotate right back to the clinic after the ICU week. If that's the case, then it seems that the marginal increase in salary from CCM job listings --> PCCM job listings is not worth the extra 10-14 days of work each month.
Is it possible to just sign for a 7/7 CCM job then try to do part-time outpatient Pulm/Sleep/IP during the off weeks for a little supplemental income? Or is the only feasible 7/7 practice model going to be to do ICU full time with per diem shifts on off-weeks for supplemental income?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
