If you’re early in your career and feeling like clinical medicine isn’t the right path for you, you’re not alone. Many physicians struggle with the decision about whether or not to leave residency. It can be hard to know if these feelings are temporary or not and whether “sticking it out” will be beneficial for your future career. Today I’m talking with Dr. Sam Kessel, who realized during his intern year that clinical medicine was not the right path for him. He’ll discuss how he made the tough decision to leave residency and why his new career as a consultant is a great fit for his passion, personality, and goals.
In this episode we’re talking about:
- How the pandemic influenced Dr. Kessel’s intern year experience
- Why Sam decided to pursue an MBA during medical school
- What a strategy consultant does and how to learn more about the field
- Factors to assess if you’re considering leaving residency
- The power of LinkedIn for connecting with others who share your interests
- Why Dr. Kessel is so passionate about the intersection of medicine and technology
- Steps physicians can take to explore consulting roles
