I am a 4th year who was previously set on General Surgery but am now strongly considering making the switch to EM. Currently doing my EM rotation and loving it. Plus the hours aren't too bad. One question though... as a new attending out of residency, is it relatively easy to negotiate working more shifts (beyond the 40-some hours/week)? Or are groups more controlling of your hours? I could see myself working maybe 55 hours/week for 2-3 years to help with my massive debt. Thanks!
