Question for those who have successfully taken year of. Not in training and not to do research. Just plain old taking a year off.
Until about fifteen years ago, our hospital system allowed those with twenty years in to have a non paid sabbatical of six months. It disappeared because of "credentialing" issues. Occasionally I see in threads people suggest taking a year off. I'm curious whether that is practically possible or a feature available for some specialties only.
For those in procedural or surgical specialties, how hard is it to come back? Let's assume you have been practicing more than ten years so foundation is there.
One question revolves around loss of technical skills.
Second question is from credentialing and licensing standpoint--both hospital and state.
Thanks to those who have experience and are willing to share.
