Hi!
I was recently talking to a couple of friends who are pursuing fellowship (PICU and PCards to be specific) and mentioned they've started taking some locums gigs at urgent care clinics during their off days while the other took up telehealth, both in their respective states. Has anyone had similar experience since I'm interested to pursue something on similar lines, not particularly to pay off debt but I currently live very close to my hospital which is in a very expensive area in one of the most expensive cities in the US and such side gigs might help me in terms of affordability.
Will the time spent towards telehealth/locums count towards the 80hr work week limit and how does the malpractice insurance work in this regard? Also, does anyone know of legit sources where I can look for such gigs?
Thanks
