Taking Initiative As you map out your next steps, there are three methods that you can use to approach your career transition:
6. Accept a good job and continue to prove to yourself and to others that you are an asset. Doctors can succeed in a variety of non-clinical fields. When doctors thrive on the non-clinical world, there are many winners, including the health care delivery system as a whole. If you decide at any time throughout this process that you want to stay in clinical medicine, but you think you need to make some changes to your current work environment, don't delay improving your situation. Your patients will be better served if you are in a situation that is fair and productive. Every physician can and should achieve career satisfaction.

My friend is a doctor. When she got married, she stopped working and focused on child-rearing. Just in case she will get back working again, she'd prefer to shift to a new profession.

Hi, I graduated from an American university in the middle east, I worked in the middle east as an emergency physician. I have a US citizenship but now I'm struggling to pass USMLE. wondering if there are any recommendations for clinical positions that don't require me to have my ECFMG certificate.
