Hello everyone,
Please excuse this perhaps naive question but I would like your input. I am currently in my mid 30s and single and have been out of residency for 3-4 years. I am considering doing a second residency in anesthesiology because when I was in medical school, my institution didn't have an anesthesiology department and I couldn't do a rotation in it. I also found out about the specialty too late. However, I have hung out with a few anesthesiologists in the hospital setting and see that I could enjoy the work for my career. I also enjoy the immediacy and physiology of the specialty vs chronic management that I am doing right now.
I know money isn't everything but I am trying to take everything into consideration. I currently make high 400s/low 500s working 16 days per month as a locums in a primary care specialty. Would you advise someone like me to try to do a second residency in anesthesiology?
Thank you for your advice in advance.
