Briefly
I'm 6 years out of fellowship. Have had several jobs in various practice settings. Have always pushed hard for leadership duties and have reaped those rewards with higher compensation and respect within the physician communities that I have worked across the country.
I'm not in the same boat as some of you....I'm not looking to get out, nor am I going to arrange myself and my family financially to retire early, etc..
I always thought my natural progression (in academics or private practice) would be to work very hard to gain leadership duties early and then "slow down" later with more nonclinical duties so that I could look ahead into by 60's or even 70's and still have my hand in medicine.
Now, I just don't know....
Any recommendations FOR EXITING physician leadership and returning to laborer?
My current setup offers a healthy ICU Director stipend that would require me to be away from home a bit more replacing that income with clinical shifts.
Again, I'm playing the long game here...starting a family, etc.. NEED a long term solution.
Thanks all...Have been active reader of these forums since they were established.
