Is working something like .75 of full-time an option? (I have a hobby that I really want to pursue... xD)

In this job market, anything is possible. But when the tides turn, you're the first on the chopping block.

you won't get paid .75 of a full time salary if you can find someone to take you on at .75 time.

you also wont be on a partnership track.

might be possible though

How many studies/RVUs are you guys required to put in on an average work day? Also what is your subspecialty? Thanks.

We read about 105 studies per shift on average. Our billing company does not break down work into wRVUs but total RVUs last year were about 20k per rad. It’s not too bad. Something like 30-40 ct/MRI and the balance being mainly xr.
