Thanks•••••It depends on your stage in training, whether there is a moonlighting "group" (sort of like an I.P.A. for moonlighters in a region), whether the hospital system is a competing system, or whether you're performing within your specialty.
Many residency programs frown upon moonlighting and some specifically prohibit it. Fellows seem to have a little more freedome, especially the ones not getting any salary during their fellowship.
There are plenty of cross-over opportunities. The last plastics fellow I worked with moonlighted as an "intern" and as a SICU resident.
