PICU to Peds Anesthesia Advice?
I am currently a PICU fellow and loving my anesthesia rotations. I plan on pursuing another fellowship in anesthesia and heard some programs and large academic centers like Johns Hopkins allow PICU trained fellows to pursue a 2 year anesthesia fellowship
While I'm yet to talk to my attendings, does any one have more information on how to pursue this route, what programs typically offer such type of fellowship, and can we operate in the ORs' similar to a peds fellowship trained...

ABIM recertification for specialists necessary?
What is the general consensus on recertification for the internal medicine ABIM for specialists (e.g. cardiology) or even sub-specialists? I couldn't find much information on this from the ABIM website nor from other forums. People were saying that it is not necessary but couldn't confirm this.
Obviously I would re-certify for cardiology but for IM, I would not go through the MOC or LKA if I didn't need to. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

post-cardiac surgery diuresis
Question from a CC fellow:
I've yet to understand the diuresis approach in post-open heart patients in the CVICU that is used at my hospital by all of my cvicu attendings.
I notice the we generally start lasix bid 20-40 mg after 24hrs post-op, sometime 48hrs after if the patient is still unstable. Then there is usually a net negative goal of 500-1L daily with additional lasix doses as needed and this is continued for multiple days thereafter. The patients admission weight and current...

Sports Cardiology Fellowship
Hello all, I'm a second year cardiology fellow. I'm interested in sports cardiology. Has anyone done a sports cardiology fellowship/rotation? Is it worth another year of training? It looks like there are only a couple of programs that offer additional training in sports cardiology. It seems like it would be really cool to work with athletes in addition to practicing clinical cardiology. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Primary Care Job - Saturated Cities!?
Are there any cities currently saturated for primary care jobs for those boarded in internal medicine or family medicine? What about for the IM sub-specialties gastroenterology, cardiology, hematology/oncology, critical care/pulmonary, nephrology, or allergy/immunology? Can you pretty much pick your city for primary care or are jobs harder to come by in certain cities like LA or NYC? Also, what is the expected salary for LA or NYC in primary care?

Continuing existential job/life crisis. Any thoughts or insights welcome.
Hello again.
I’ll do my absolute best to keep this as succinct as possible. I’ve given my current employer my walking papers. Leaving in a couple months on great terms.
Outpatient, even in the highly desirable realm of concierge medicine, isn’t for me at this time in my career. It is an excellent way, however, to spend the last 5 to 10 years of my career. I wouldn’t say that I’m a masochist, but inpatient/sick patients is where my heart has always been.
I was born and raised in Miami...
