What do you feel the most important factors are in looking for a practice early in your career?
I am an early-career (<5yrs out) private practice CT surgeon looking to move because of admin/volume issues.
Have an opportunity in upstate NY at a high-volume place with great variety of cases, good call schedule 1:4. Have another opportunity in the South at a good hospital system but lower volume place. Great area near the coast with great lifestyle potential; although call is 1:2.
The CT surgery arena is changing. I think we will be doing more complex stuff in the future (digging out VIV TAVRs, even more complex coronaries, complicated lobes following COVID PNA etc).
As an early-career surgeon, When do you make the decision to follow work-life balance/reward yourself for surviving it this far versus tons of exposure honing your craft and being really good at complex stuff?
