Demystify Your Job Search.
As you start to consider post-fellowship jobs, you likely have the following question.
What are my options in addition to Academia?
Most fellows typically view their choices as one of two categories: private practice and academics. A better way to delineate your options may be:
Academic vs. Non-Academic
While the difference may seem subtle, there has been much transformation of practice attributes over the last decade, and in addition to the well-known aspects of the academic setting in which we’ve all trained, there’s a big bucket of everything else.
Fellows, and even some long-term academic faculty, may have limited knowledge of the “everything else,” and I frequently field questions from career-searchers trying to gain a better understanding of what practice options actually exist.
So, what’s the everything else???
Private Practice
Hospital Employment
HMO Positions
Locum Tenens
Why does it matter?
Awareness.
NS Nugget:
As physicians, we are extremely busy.
The Micro blog aims to provide you with just a little business about the business of littles.
You get to decide how much more to read via links to our additional resources.
Plus, I’m a busy physician too and don’t have time to write a blog.
