Hi,
I'm currently listening to a physician give a speech about how much they love their private practice but, many younger doctors seem to prefer working for a hospital etc. and some even seem to have a genuine dislike for private practice.
This seems to have a ton of viewpoints on it and many doctors seem to be hardcore on telling this to many pre-meds....
I'm currently lost on this. So far working for the hospital seems to be the easier but less profitable option (but how much?) Also, why is it so important that pre meds understand this? Furthermore, there happens to be these primary care physicians that leave their practices and end up working in other sectors.... how is this even possible (I mean like emergency physician and even hospitalist on Internal Medicine).
Also, do adcoms really care if I understand this? If so why?
Thanks in advance

P.S.
I almost signed my real name
