After having been an employee for many years working in at least some capacity for a hospital system, I decided it was time for a change. I was feeling signs of burnout from being asked to constantly see more patients, take more call, and work longer hours (of course, while making the same salary). 👉 While it may not be the best choice for everybody, for me the solution was starting my own practice. I was able to become my own boss. I did this four years ago. 💪 This gave me much more control over my schedule, independence in how I treat patients, and a greater ability to spend time with my family. ✅ Overall, this was the best decision I've ever made professionally (aside from choosing orthopedic surgery of course). If you're curious how I did it, comment PRACTICE and I'll send you a link to a YouTube video I made showing the steps I took. #career #physician #burnout
