Knovecc Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 ppl here seem to be quite interested in EM these days, so let me add my own Q s 1) what's the overhead (in % of income) for EM vs GIM in two separate settings: 1- a tertiary teaching hospital (like Toronto Western) 2- a rural hospital (like a 5000 population town 100 km north of Toronto I heard that EM overhead is 0%, correct me if it's BS... 2) for an EM 2+1, if I DON'T care about location at all (Northern Labrador? Yukon? rural Quebec? no problem!!!) can I secure a place doing 100% ER? (by 100%, I mean more than 35h per wk) 3) for the hours... is it true that an EM works 35h\wk vs 50-55h for GIM? does it ever exist a GIM working less that 40-45h while earning decent salary?

Dany Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 i think EM has no overhead here in rural quebec it's 14 shifts of 8hrs per month to be considered full time as for EM vs IM, I really cannot comment on GIM schedules, but apparently it's pretty long hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dany Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you want to work in an ER in BFE, you'd probably be able to secure a deal directly after doing only 2 years of family medicine. whats BFE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 whats BFE? A colourful expression for the middle of nowhere. I've actually never encountered it in real life, only on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 A colourful expression for the middle of nowhere. I've actually never encountered it in real life, only on the internet. I used BFN. No idea what the E stood for and I use it often. Yes, I am colourful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 brooksbane can clarify, but E is for Egypt according to Urban Dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Northern Labarador has no stand alone ER physicians to my knowledge. In fact, Lab City and Goose Bay may be the only locations of family docs in the whole area. The rest is NPs, nurses and fly in docs as far as I know.
