IM docs as ER docs

question...

i've been told that IM docs work as Er docs on occassion. here in lies my curiosity, is it possible to say be board certified in IM and then entired 'practice' as an ER doc? of course ER docs woudl be better trained because of their residency, but wouldnt these IM docs be just as good with experience..

Additionally, will these IM docs get paid the same amount of $$$ especially in places like chicago, etc.

of course i suppose EM docs wouldnt like this since this is in essence getting into their territory, nevertheless, is this possible?

thanks
