    Moonlighting Among Military Docs

    Does it happen? Is it allowed? Any of you wiser and more experienced military medical wives knowledgeable on this?

    I don't have time to type a lot right now, but yes, it happens, and yes, it is allowed -- my husband does not moonlight because we are not real strapped for money right now, and there is nothing available here in town. I think you are required to moonlight only during approved leave --i.e. you can't moonlight on a weekend you happen to have off, you have to actually take leave days. I will try to find out more.

      Jennifer-



      Let me preface this by saying that this is only my impression:



      There are some staff who moonlight at the civilian hospitals here in TX. (Obviously they are licensed here!) I don't think they are allowed to moonlight during training, although I'm not sure about fellowship- maybe Rick could as a general pediatrician.



      One of the neurologists moonlights and make some sweet bucks about one weekend a month. Rick is licensed in Indiana so I guess he could moonlight there!

        Sally, please do tell me if you find out anything else! I'm specifically interested in learning about moonlighting among "finished" military physicians. It's really, really easy for radiologists to do tele-moonlighting and they make a ton of money doing it. I think Jon told me that it is forbidden for active duty officers in residency to moonlight, but I think with his busy schedule I don't WANT him moonlighting at the moment. Anyway, if you guys find out anything else on the subject please let me know! Thanks!!

          Jennifer,
          I do know that moonlighting while you are in residency is not allowed. We had friends that moonlighted during GMO tours and we know other staff docs who moonlighted on their weekends off. I do know that you have be be licensed in the state where you want to moonlight in and depending on the hospital you are assigned to you may need some formal permission. I will check with my husband as see what he know.
