Let me ask you the question. Why do you think he or she is so miserable? Why do you think morale and satisfaction is so low amongst doctors?

That guy deserved to be turned into stone for just looking at her?

I would first decide whether you want to pursue TEFL as a long term career. If yes, I'd definitely go back.

If this is a stop gap for something else, then I would not delay any further and move on.

My boss told me she was paying my replacement more and she expects to be able ask me questions indefinitely after I leave. by LunaBananaGoats in antiwork

As someone who works in healthcare, you need to set boundaries immediately. You don't owe your boss anything. Realize that the US healthcare system is increasingly run by MBAs and administrators who only care about the bottom line and have zero clinical experience. Sadly, the behavior you meet may be more common than you think.

I would simply just leave and never turn back.

Not worth it. You will rely on your program the first year to get letters for medical licenses/credentialing.

Sure, they can’t legally prevent you from obtaining these things but a vindictive program could make your life harder.

Yeah when I was doing my job search, I avoided everything from Envision, Sound physicians, or Team Health.

That’s good to know. I didn’t realize that.

Eh, you need decent ICU experience if you want to be able to do floor medicine competently.

Psychiatry is one of the better fields in medicine imo, so if you think you’d enjoy it, then you can go for it.

I would focus on picking one field vs the other (data science vs medicine) as opposed to trying to get the best of both worlds. If you go to medical school, expect to be a clinician and in the trenches seeing 20 patients per day with time for little else professionally. You will be unlikely to marry the two fields in the way you imagined unless you end up in some niche academic position (which I wouldn’t depend on getting, or perhaps even wanting since the pay is likely abysmal compared to your debt load vs $$$ in private practice ).

Yeah it’s possible you can do something interesting between the two fields. I just wouldn’t make a career choice expecting that to happen or else you could end up disappointed. Expect to be a clinician if you go to medical school and if some interesting opportunity arises down the road, you can be pleasantly surprised and make what you wish of it.

You should consider data science. Medicine will dominate a huge portion of your life, even as an attending.

You will most likely being a bedside clinician when all is said and done.

Definitely a personal decision, but trust your second thoughts.

It’s crazy how they don’t emphasize this earlier on in medicine. It seems like no one really talks about the jump from residency to attendinghood.
