Very difficult. There is no data for your question. Anecdotally, there are probably 50 or so of these positions every year. Complete guess, maybe there are more. With the growing popularity of fellowship training, it makes it more difficult for someone coming out of a 3 year residency to get these positions. It still happens! It’s impossible to predict how many of these positions will exist in 5-10 years. There will probably be more hospital based positions. The salary question is impossible to answer. It seems like 200,000 is close to what most hospital based starting pods will get to start, but some make more and some make less.
