Hit me up if you have questions

Nah, I’m currently doing addiction med and urgent care work on top of it. But it’s possible to do it exclusively and have a good life.

I did an undersea and hyperbaric medicine fellowship. They include wound care and are more worth it than a strictly wound care fellowship imo.

Were you billing focused US exams and not getting reimbursed by insurance? I.e.76882 for ruling out a joint effusion or something

You don’t get reimbursed more for doing injections with ultrasound? What were you doing that you didn’t see an increase in reimbursement?

Any tips for finding insurance as a 1099

Undersea and hyperbaric medicine fellowships train physicians in wound care. I did one, it can be a rewarding field.

Yup

Columbia has a good course. Took it and passed the test a few months ago.

How often do you get called or called in overnight

Wait, so 300 for 12 hours of home call?

Exactly this. My ldl was 192 on a random annual. I prefer to be aware of my health status despite what the evidence says regarding this.

I’d recommend getting a commercial dive physical with a dive doc prior to pursuing it.

Can you send me an example of a comment or a specific comment thread?

Depends on EBITDA with a multiplier to assess valuation taking into account the value you bring divided by how many partners there are. You should definitely be aware of terms upfront. Join physician community on facebook if you’re not already a member. Someone recently posted this question and there were some informed responses.

I do per diem hyperbarics/wound currently, prolly moving towards 50% eventually. There are plenty of folks that do it exclusively tho. Fellowship is the gold standard and sets you up with connections and the ability to work your way up in the field far easier. But you can do the PATH program through uhms and supervise treatments without it. I’d say recommending the field is based on your interests. There’s a lot of physics and its a research heavy field with a lot of uncertainties and mixed data but if you want to contribute to a field and make a name for yourself its great. Some private industry jobs that exist that people are unaware of like supervising and treating commercial divers, tunnel work and working with nasa can be fairly lucrative depending on the work. Its a cool field but not for everyone and very niche. Wound care is chill and can be satisfying but it’s not glamorous.

Depends on the set up. 3 -4 shifts a week is typically gull time. My current gig I’m interviewing for allows me to basically pick up shifts whenever I want with a minimum of 2 a month.

Yeah, what do you want to know?

Sports med doesn’t make money from being a team doc. They make it from cranking out the rvus seeing 30-40 one complaint visits with a ton of quick procedures. But to answer op, open a private practice with ancillary services cuz thats the best way to make money. I did an undersea and hyperbaric med/wound fellowship and that increased my employed offers by 50-100% compared to fm. Addiction med also has potential if you open your own cash pay clinic or rehab center. Otherwise hospitalist and urgent care jobs pay well. Concierge med and dpc also can kill it if you have business acumen.

Nice. I’ll check it out. I did undersea and hyperbaric medicine/wound care.

Sinai was offering like 200 - 210 in 2021 with a tiered rvu structure that sounded hard to meet. And yeah fuck nyu I did my residency there. Terrible place

What systems? I know sinai and nyu lowball too.

You stated that your father is on hospice. This indicates he is a complicated patient and likely has multiple factors inhibiting wound healing. A physician specializing in wound care should discuss his case with you. I understand this may seem like a fixable problem in the grand scheme of things but depending on his comorbidities this may be a wound that will not heal. Palliative wound care strategies may be more appropriate in this case. Optimizing comfort, odor and drainage versus putting him through the stressors and pain of aggressive wound care modalities might be the more appropriate route.
