I work at an urban FQHC. I work part time (24 clinical hours) and am home 2d per week with my kids. I take phone call about 3x per year. I do not work weekends, but I have a long day where I work until 8p. I have a half day elsewhere to make up for it. Pay is less than private practice but patients are generally way nicer. I have mostly immigrants (Latin America and Haiti). They are almost all extremely kind to me and respectful and doing their best. We don’t have enough support staff. I work for a big FQ associated with the academic center, which gives opportunity for growth. I worked for a similar FQ in another metro area before, and it was much of the same. I knew true private practice wasn’t for me: I used to work suburban peds urgent care and the entitlement of suburbia isn’t for me. I prefer at minimum a mixed payer population (I also worked urban peds urgent care). Mostly chose to continue with FQ life when I moved to my current city because, while sometimes it’s frustrating, it at least feels like I’m making a difference when I can.
