Hi everyone,
For those of you who didn't know, there is a prison in town and it is a Federal Medical Prison. It's kind of neat because it is where all the federal prisons in the region send their sick inmates.
I worked there for a year before I came here and I have worked out a few connections. I'm trying really hard to get some opportunities for moonlighting for our residents there. Family med is an obvious fit for that job since we can handle anything.
It's really a very soft gig working there overnight. You get paid at least $50 an hour. Usually you're sleeping. Sometimes it can be exciting. It's never dangerous, though. Plenty of female nurses and staff work there, as well.
They also need people occasionally to do chronic care clinics (can be evenings/weekends).
I have the tentative go-ahead from the firm that does the contracting (this is NOT Enhanced Med or whatever) to put together a pool of people as potential "back-ups" in case the night coverage falls through the cracks, they can't get someone to come in, or they need help for those clinics.
If you're interested in being on the substitute list, let me know.
So far they're working on getting the following people on board:
Sara Oberhelman
Shawn McManus
Ryan Ludwig
They can take at least 3 more people.
It's a first step to getting in to a very lucrative spot. Right now it's mostly fellows because the waiting list is so long. This is a backdoor that will be good for us and good for the prison. I'm just not sure a pediatric subspecialist needs to be working there.
Let me know if you're interested or if you have any questions,
Mark
