For 'full time' docs, how many hours do you work per year in your 'doctor' jobs? For the purposes of this thread I'll say that leadership, research, clinical care, consulting, etc, all counts - but I'm going to exclude side businesses and passive income like... blogging. Sorry WCI and PhysicianonFIRE. However I would include your work running, for instance, your medical practice, a nursing home, a surgery center, etc.
Include all the time you spend driving around from site to site, but not your time driving to and from work at the beginning and end of the work day. Think about all your PTO. Include any call where you are actually working, as opposed to just carrying a live pager. So if you are called in for a procedure or spend hours on the phone while on call, count that - but don't count the 15 hours you were at home sleeping and playing basketball with your kids just because you had a pager on.
Your lunch/break time is countable, assuming none of us are taking 4 hour lunches regularly.
If i'm missing some other scenarios, chime in.
I work 4 days per week, 8-6 on average. Some days longer, some shorter. And 1 weekend per month which is about 16 hours of active work. Call one weeknight per week but so light that I'm not even going to count it. From the above deduct 8 weeks of holidays and PTO though I don't usually take all of it. I get to 1950 hours.
