Real Talk with Kid Docs
Episode 32. Behind the Mask. What is it like to take the road less traveled in medicine? Take time off? Switch practice styles? Switch careers?
It is September 2024 which marks a few milestones for these two Pediatricians:
-It has been one year since Beth decided to take a break from a fast paced career in academic medicine to focus on her health and be a stay at home mom.
-It has been almost 1 year (1 year next month!) since Joe left private practice Peds to hang up his own shingle as a Direct Primary Care (DPC) Pediatrician.
-We are six months into this podcasting and coming in to our groove.
Taking the road less traveled can happen for many reasons. You might want a change. You might be forced to make a change. You might be tired, frustrated or burntout from what you are doing. There might be a really exciting noew oppourtunuty. Changing course and taking the road less traveled can be scary and can also be the start of the path you have been needing.
Join is as we talk about what we have learned in the year since Joe and I both left traditional medicine.
