Matched at a place with low scope volume, how can I prep for private practice?
I matched at a place where fellows graduate with 600 total endoscopies including both EGD and colonoscopy. My goal is to go into private practice but unfortunately can't control the match algorithm. How can I make the best of the time I do have during fellowship to get additional volume/get good at endoscopy? Is there any other way for me to practice colonoscopies or get additional volume? Am I doomed to academics forever by ending up at a low volume place or will I be able to still escape...

Other partners do ERCPs and place plastic stents but do not know how to do Spy, remove larger stones or deal with complex stricture. They do most of their...

nasal cpap vs high flow for endoscopy?
Hi all,
Does anyone have thoughts on which machine would be better to buy for a gi suite that would have occasional large patients for endo/colon: nasal cpap vs high flow nasal oxygen?
For example, which of these two:

50+ year old woman, otherwise healthy with squamous cell CIS of the anal canal (at dentate line). Discovered incidentally on endoscopy. Just roughness on DRE and can visualize on anoscopy. Unfortunately, significant circumferential involvement and unlikely to be a candidate for surgery with both adequate margin and sphincter preservation.
Doing staging workup, etc. Assuming no more advanced disease will become evident.
Concurrent chemorads just seems harsh here (could treat relatively low...

What is most revenue-generating?
Revenue generation in medicine is pretty opaque and not straightforward, but I'm curious if anyone knows what makes the most money for the hospital/medical system on average. Specifically, I'm interested in medical subspecialties only, and finding out what is the most revenue-generating and/or profit-maximizing in the inpatient and outpatient settings. I'm guessing these would be procedures like cardiac stents, endoscopies, or bone marrow transplants? Is there a way this information can be...

GI fee per slide
I am a pathologist recently approached by a GI colleague to consider reading biopsies that they will start taking in an in office endoscopy facility. What is the current fair market fee for this type of arrangement (fee per slide/jar)?. I have heard anywhere from $11 to $30 per slide/jar/88305. This is one of a few places where I have seen this discussed and would greatly appreciate any feedback to decide whether to consider this. Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)
