In
HIV and ID Observations, Dr. Paul Sax rants about a recent piece on recruitment to the ID field and reduced salaries.
Dr. Paul Sax agrees that money shouldn't be the primary motivation for choosing a career as an infectious diseases doctor. Instead of justifying lower salaries, though, he writes in the latest HIV and ID Observations blog post, ID docs should be aggressively lobbying that what they do brings value to the healthcare system and should be dutifully acknowledged.
