My sole ambition is to become an emergency medicine physician in my home state of Massachusetts.
The adrenaline from being in an emergency situation. The excitement from not knowing what to expect. And the satisfaction of helping those who have found themselves in an unfortunate predicament.
However, I am very big on job security. I don't care if my salary drops -- but I don't want to be unemployed.
I have heard that NPs and PAs assuming the role of family practice physicians is common practice now, and I was wondering if the same goes for EM physicians.
I intend on practicing in an urban environment, and in a hospital setting.
My question is: Do I have anything to worry about? I just want to live comfortably and do what I love. I don't expect to drive an exotic car, or live in a lavish home. I just hope I can practice where I want, and not have to worry about nurses taking my job.
Thanks.
