Default Re: tell us about your job

[ QUOTE ]
Chief of a group of 44 ER MD's in Reno Nv.

4 yrs. college
4 yrs. Med School
1 yr. research (optional)
4 yrs. residency.

Well suited - make complex decisions based on partial information about potentially life/death problems. Good at adjusting to unexpected changes in a situation. Calm in tight spots.

Eight or nine hours shifts, maybe 20 patients a shift.

Rough average for someone in my job would be about 250K or so - we do a bit better.

I'm a half time MD, half time administrator (someone has to do it) - The admin part of the job is like living in a Dilbert cartoon.....

MM MD

Where does "Chief" put you in rank with the on-staff doctors on your shift?
