I am boarded in internal medicine and have been practicing at a community hospital as a hospitalist for over 10 years. I also have a PhD in neuropharmacology which I've not really done anything with (I was a bit burned out after my MD/PhD program). With my mother having been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia I've recently developed an interest in dementia research. I already have some ideas for research projects, but am unsure how to make the transition. I suppose I could look into joining a teaching hospital that permits research opportunities. Otherwise I could look into a geriatrics fellowship.. heck, it's just one year and hospitalist medicine is 90% geriatrics anyway. It would feel very odd however, being back in the position of student.. particularly when I may be more experienced than my supervisor. Does anyone have experience with transitioning from attending to fellow?
BTW, no loans or debts so that is not an issue and my only dependent is an iguanna.
..not sure where else to post this.
