Hey all, I'm just entering my final year of residency. I'm very interested in H&PCM and am trying to decide whether to to apply this cycle. I'm pretty burned out from working resident-hours (though my last year should be much more humane). I don't know if I can do a fellowship right after residency if it will mean another year of 60-80 hour weeks. I hate to be that guy, but...
- What is the lifestyle of a typical H&PCM fellow? E.g., hours worked, frequency of weekend shifts, etc.
- What are some pros and cons of starting fellowship right after residency, vs applying a year or three down the road?
Any input from folks who have gone through this would be appreciated!
