| Abstract: | By the time they realize their career in clinical medicine isn't everything they thought it would be, many physicians believe they're too invested in their trade to turn back now. Feeling burned out, disengaged, unfulfilled or burdened by high student debt or compensation incommensurate with the demands of their job, they may feel trapped, without options and with nowhere to turn. In her book, 50 NONCLINICAL CAREERS FOR PHYSICIANS: FULFILLING, MEANINGFUL, and LUCRATIVE ALTERNATIVES TO DIRECT PATIENT CARE, preventive medicine physician Sylvie Stacy offers physicians an escape from that bleak trap by identifying numerous nonclinical career options that could align with their skillsets and individual financial situation. While providing an escape from the stressors of clinical medicine, the book also allays much of the potential guilt associated with selling out their chosen profession or abandoning patients by explaining how each physician's training and talents directly translate to patient care outside of clinical medicine. |
