<p>Here’s a neat website I found. Med students can use it to find residency positions at certain hospitals, but I’ve found it useful for my purposes just to see what specialties and specialties there are.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/1,1239,,00.html[/url]”>http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/1,1239,,00.html</a></p>
<p>For example, if you select the “Neurological Surgery” box and look at the various programs that it shows you–and then if you click on one of the programs that it lists, such as “Brown University Program” you can learn about the call schedule for residents at that particular hospital.</p>
<p>In Brown’s Neurosurgery Program, for example, it says residents work an avg of 70 hrs/week for 6 years (after one year of a general surgery residency) for a salary that starts at $45,000 and increases by about $3000/year for the rest of residency. </p>
<p>Anyway, hope that helped.</p>
