I figure I would start a thread about how to leave the field of Emergency
I see some fellowships however after doing some research Pain is a competitive fellowship and there is also the issue of the match and relocating
So I'm going to throw some ideas out there.
Doing Direct Urgent Care/medical spa/weight loss clinic
Pros
Kinda like direct primary care but only see acute or urgent complaints
No residency
Don't take insurance
Can interact with patient without circadian disruption
Cons
Not trained in primary care but you can learn on the job
May be tough to initially start up the practice
Doing Pharmacy/Admin pathway
Pros
Can make a good amount of money
Cons
May depend on connections
Real estate/investing/crpto
Pros:
Can make a lot of money as a passive investment
Cons:
Can be very risky and require a very large start up cost
