going to bump this thread. basically, i completed internship and resigned on good terms because i went to medschool not for myself but because someone told me to. i was pretty miserable and finally had the courage to leave, although i know it's a pretty bad decision from a purely career -wise aspect. i like many facets of medicine but up close and personal it's not too appealing. im still trying to figure out what to do such as reapply, looking into another specialty, start a business, do something completely different, and of course dr. kim's usual set of suggestions. but in the meantimei just passed step 3 and and my license app is in process.
im thinking about moonlighting to help pay my bills. first question is how likely would hospitals let someone in my position work? 2nd, where can i find more info and openings or is this going to be a need to have connections situation? and lastly are there gigs where you can really streamline your responsibilities like earning a simple fee per admit and going to codes? options of no crosscovers, etc? im hoping there could be a niche i coukd fill. some of the private hospitals ive been in during med school and internship had pretty rough nights for nocturnists and i think having some cheap minimally qualified help would make life easier for them. hey that sounds like residency. anyway, i think it woukd suck to make a career out of this, but at least id have something to do while i work things out.
edit: well, ive been looking on md job sites from googling and pretyy much all fhe job offers are bc be. im guessing most of the positions without bc/be are in-house for residents or very limited by word of mouth. this scheme probably wont pan out just like my idea about becoming an aviation medical examiner.
