ED locum?

Hey Joe

How far along are you in your career? Are you in an A&E training program yet?

I am also in the same situation, except I'm in my penultimate year of medical school. I also want to be an ED physician!

I have looked into this for a long time. In fact, I was partway through interviews for a cadetship before I decided I needed a stable alternative should the aviation industry decide to fluctuate again.

My plan is to complete my ED physician training, get my ATPL, get an airline job, and then locum for ED whenever my flying roster permits.

It's a very long-term plan but I think it could work!

Good luck!
