Anesthesiology ranking near the bottom for both burnout and job satisfaction
Just came across this study on Jama Open titled “
Well-Being Parameters and Intention to Leave Current Institution Among Academic Physicians”
Well-Being Parameters and Intention to Leave Current Institution Among Academic Physicians
This cross-sectional study describes the prevalence of burnout, professional fulfillment, and intention to leave among physicians at academic-affiliated health care systems and identifies institutional and individual factors associated with intention to leave.

Did I mess up this interview?
Hey guys, probably a neurotic post here. After speaking about how I thought my strengths included frequent self-reflection and growth, I was asked what my New Year's Resolution was. I actually haven't thought about it and like an idiot, said that out loud. I came up with something about being more patient and learning to be ok with things that are out of my control. This was an anesthesia interview at my top choice and looking back, this is sounding like a cliche answer to me now. Otherwise...

Does research matter at all for academic primary care residencies?
I'm an OMS-II taking step and COMLEX in the Summer, and am also currently working on two projects, one which is under review for publication and another that I am trying to decide how much time I should dedicate towards it. I want to keep more competitive specialties on the table like radiology or anesthesiology on the table, but I could also see myself doing FM or peds. I ask this question because if there ever came a point where I realize a competitive specialty is off the table for me...

New HCA/NAPA Anesthesia Residency in Austin
I got this email for the program director gig at a new HCA funded residency in Austin. Did the ABA learn nothing from EM?!?! Please if you have time call the ABA. This is ridiculous. We need to protect our specialty. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Somnia?
Hey everyone,
I am considering a change in jobs and there is a position with Somnia that is available with a decent salary but there are several things that are concerning with their offer. After doing a quick search through the archives here, they do not appear to have a favorable reputation, especially out west, but those posts are all several years old.
To be brief, it is hard to get a clear answer on daily expectations/hours, call obligations, call frequency, supervision ratios, or...

Gift idea
I have been fortunate to have worked with a few amazing attendings this past year and have been told by multiple interviewers that they have written outstanding and extraordinary letters of recommendation for me. The relationship that I have with them is more than a simple attending-MS4. I feel like they truly care about me succeeding and chasing my goals. One is a cardiac surgeon and the other is a cardiac anesthesiologist. Assuming that I match, I would like to give them a small token of...

Specialty Choice: Anesthesia or Surgery?
Even before I started medical school, I was hoping and dreaming of becoming a surgeon. I worked with surgeons and anesthesiologists in a level 1 trauma center for a year before I started school, and I loved the stressful situations, the communication skills you develop, the general "type of person" that tends to be in these roles.
This past year I was diagnosed with a chronic illness which, by all accounts that I can dig up, means that I very likely should not be a surgeon (based on the...

Mindray Anesthesia Machines
Does anyone here have recent experience with Mindray anesthesia machines? I found a thread from a couple years back with mixed opinions on it, but was wondering if anyone had any up to date firsthand experience with these machines.
Our administration is potentially going to buy them. If the machines are fairly equivalent to the big name competitors, i wont create a fuss, but if there is a large difference in quality (namely, the safety and reliability of it) I don’t have a problem vetoing...

Please help me with ranking programs.
Hello, current 4th year in the match process right now and am struggling with solidifying my rank list. My top 4 programs based on interviews and what I have learned about the programs are: UAB, Wake, MUSC, and Cincinnati. I am curious on how you would rank these programs if you were in my situation. Any information based on perception, word of mouth, and pros/cons would all be appreciated! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Occasional optho coverage
I'm friends with the nurse manager of a local optho center. She's asked if I can cover a few days a month when they can't get a CRNA. They've offered to either let me do my own billing or suggest an hourly rate. This would be a 1099 deal and I would need my own malpractice coverage.
I've never worked on my own like this so I'd love some advice on how to get this going properly. Specifically, what information would I need to decide between billing myself or taking an hourly rate? I'm...

TEE privileges
For the cardiac guys, where do you draw the line on "helping" with TEEs?
We have a busy EP lab with multiple groups. Some of our EP docs do their own TEE to r/o clot. Some have partners that are always available. One in particular occasionally can't find anyone to do it. So he asks us, and we oblige by placing the probe, clearing the appendage and writing the report. But I'm already involved in the GA for the PVI.
I had a new request today. Pt in the unit, 6 days post-op for AVR, needed...
