Is it doable? Pros/Cons?
Incoming PGY-1 here... When I was rotating as a 4th year, Dr. Haidukewych at Orlando Health was an ortho trauma surgeon who had a completely separate elective joints practice (primaries and revisions). I know he is a special case because he was heavily involved in Arthoplasty research over the last 20 years, but is this kind of practice possible to do straight out of fellowship? Or is it more something that you slowly create over your career?
Also - if it is...
