Where does IR fit into an RVU based system and what is the ideal relationship with DR? I don’t know. Please assist.

Blanket Dog Bryan Z. Hamade, MD Completely seperate Being held to an RVU standard like DR is erroneous PP or academics - it’s tenuous at best. Long clinical care practice and image interruption don’t match - priorities - practice design - compensation - lifestyle #MedTwitter

@DoctorCliffyy Blanket Dog Line Monkey MD Anyone have a different perspective?…a time to speak up

Bryan Z. Hamade, MD @DoctorCliffyy Blanket Dog Unfortunately the majority don’t agree. People want the safety net of diagnostic radiology. They don’t want to waste “hard earned skills.” They truly believe they can have the fun of IR without the lifestyle of surgery while maintaining the salary and vacation typical of DR. Many

Line Monkey MD Bryan Z. Hamade, MD @DoctorCliffyy Blanket Dog I’d agree with this. 100% IR with a strong clinical practice. No guaranteed income at high personal financial sacrifice. One can’t really have it both ways.

According to the @AMA, 37% to 45% of U.S. physicians are bound by noncompete agreements, which significantly affects #IRads. Join us on May 16, 8–9 p.m. ET, for a roundtable and Q&A session by SIR Business Institute.brnw.ch/21wJIOF

Incredible journey and inspiring and educational (and funny 😂 ) talk. Thank you Frank J. Minja MD . Check it out. 🙂

Lack of physician autonomy and focus on RVUs rather than patient care is 100% leading to physician burn out. Jenanan Vairavamurthy, MD thank you for being brave enough to have this raw honest conversation. Everyone needs to listen to this Society of Interventional Radiology

Glad to see this acknowledged by our government. A long known fact and long overdue acknowledgement, but progress nonetheless. Hopefully aggressive next steps to curtail this crisis are in order. Too many people, many of which are children, have already died. #endgunviolence

Today I'm launching a small, simple site dedicated to helping radiologists find true private practices (and helping those practices find radiologists). It's a crazy job market out there. It's called Independent Radiology, and I hope it's helpful: independentradiology.com
