Deciding whether to stay in clinical medicine or leave is a high-stakes choice many physicians consider, and itās important to know you arenāt alone in contemplating this million-dollar question. If youāre at the white coat crossroads, how do you know if you can find a way to be happier in medicine or if itās time to leave? In todayās episode, weāre revisiting my very first podcast from October 2020 where I discussed a three-step process you can use right now to start answering this question. There is no one right answer to this question, but there is a right answer for you, and this episode is all about helping you find yours!
In this episode weāre talking about:
- Quantifying your current career happiness as a starting off point
- Why revisiting the path that led you to where you are is so important
- How fear-based thinking can muddy the career waters
- Evaluating the factors affecting your level of career happiness
- What needs to change for you to find career satisfaction
- How to give yourself a much-needed permission slip
- A little about when I was at the crossroads myself
