I rage-quit my academic pediatrician job in 2017 with lots of debt and no plan. Doctors don’t have to stay in jobs they hate. We can be successful everywhere.
I was featured in @Forbes for teaching doctors how to find new jobs and live good lives.

I was scared when I submitted my resignation letter.
I was scared when I applied for a per-diem job.
I was scared the first time I agreed to be an expert witness.
I was scared when I got on a plane for my first locums gig.
But I did it and now I’m not scared anymore.

Everything is scary the first time you do it. Still do it.

Stop doubting yourself. You can do something new with your physician career. Most docs just wish they’d done it sooner.

Hot take: Every hospital that says they "can't afford to pay physicians more" has an EVP of Patient Experience making $400K.
The budget isn't a constraint. It's a series of choices about who gets paid first.

Don’t believe the lies. You can go part-time and still have patient continuity.

Don’t do a fellowship unless you are violently passionate about the specialty. That is the only good reason.

Fear disguises itself as:
“I’m not ready to take the leap”
“Now’s not the right time”
“I need to make [ ] professor first”
“After I make full partner”
“Maybe in 5 years”

Doctors can make thoughtful, intentional career shifts at any stage. We deserve to be happy. Don’t wait.

The American Board of Pediatrics has approved a shift toward 2-year subspecialty fellowships instead of the usual 3 years.
Peds hospitalist fellowships should still be zero years. Don’t do those.

I started earning more money when I stopped worrying about being nice in negotiations.
Professional, always.
Polite, usually.
Nice, never.

Doctors are so concerned about how much a locums agency is making off of them, but never stop to consider how much their home academic institution is making off of them…
