What nonclinical careers would be a good fit for me? What would I even do with myself if I wasn't practicing clinical medicine? What if the culture of clinical medicine doesn't make sense for me anymore?
Our guest this week, Dr. Rachel Mandel has an interesting story on transitioning out of clinical medicine and creatively designing a career as a physician consultant. She worked for many years as an OBGYN, but at some point decided that the late nights on call, and the long clinic days weren't working for her anymore.
She took a step back to deconstruct what parts of her career made her unhappy and what parts fed something in her soul. She pieced together a physician consulting business where she is now able to do work she enjoys with more freedom and time flexibility than she ever had in clinical practice.
Listen in as Dr. Mandel and Chelsea discuss creative career design, having the courage to be honest with yourself, expanding the identity of being a physician, and the power of leveraging your network for nonclinical opportunities.
This episode is full of practical tips and insightful perspective shifts. It is sure to give you a boost of motivation in creating a fulfilling career!
