I've been considering taking a year or 2 completely out of the medical field to concentrate on other parts of my life. I love medicine and practicing EM. I've been an attending for a few years now, and things are going great. I also however have other very important interests I need to pursue now which should take my full attention. Can't go into great detail, but I would be conceivably leaving the medical field temporarily for 1-2 years. Seeing EM for what it is, it seems like I would have no problem getting rehired again when I return. My current job is even leaving the "door open" so to speak, though I'm not sure where geographically I'll end up when I get back into medicine. Locums or per diem also is not an option during this time.
Is there anything I should maintain during my absence (license, certifications, ect.)? Any redflags or big issues with this that anyone can see other than the fact that I'll of course need to explain 1-2 years in my CV? I figure I'll probably do a refresher course as well when I return just to get to cobwebs out.
Thanks
