Cut from residency

Hey everyone, i have posted this situation in another area, but figured this is the best place.
I need advice. Contract to continue to my 2nd year is not being given to me, I've been dropped from my residency. Honestly, I feel a bit lost and not sure where to go from here. I never enjoyed being a physician, so the idea of doing residency again sounds horrible to me. But I worked extremely hard to get here and feel like all will be lost if I quit now. Anyone know of options I have?
I honestly feel medicine isn't for me. I've never stressed about school, my prior jobs, etc, but I was clinically depressed. Advice please!
About specialties, I'm in family medicine right now, and if I were to choose, I would do family medicine again...

Thanks

If you got thrown out of your FM program, you probably won't get into another FM program.
Look into consulting.
Maybe MBA or law school when you reset and decide what you're interested in.
If you did a year, you can get licensed in most (all?) states and can probably get a job at a doc in the box shop to pay your loans. Live like a student and delete any debt you have before going back to school.

I think it depends upon why your contract is not being renewed. For any new program to consider you, they would want to know what the problem was, and how you've addressed it. Your post is vague, so it's impossible to give you much more advice than that.

But, if you hate your job, it's hard to do it well. If you're depressed, get help.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry....that sounds like a nightmare
