“Highly dependent on the job you sign up for, different practices can be vastly diff schedules. You need to find the schedule that best fits for you whether it’s more clinic, more bronchoscopes or more critical care. Private practice I prefer because you do your work, and leave, no teaching and dealing with complications from mistakes made by residents/fellows, much higher pay, and less red tape ”
