Short audio from Stephen Rosen

Unpredictable hours. Dwindling satisfactions from patient care. Repetitive demands and stress of emergencies and disasters. Lack of balance between a professional life and a personal life. Yet it’s precisely these problems that can became opportunities, once you realize that you have a bushel basket full of specific, enjoyable, transferable skills.

“Experienced M.D. with outstanding communication skills, proven record of business success, enthusiasm, dedication to relationship building and education within the medical community”. That from his resume. But in person he told us: “I have not enjoyed much satisfaction in the practice of medicine. I want to lose the pager and the angst… to express myself more creatively… to have more time... even eliminate my clinical practice, perhaps… to explore my options realistically”.  There’s no name for his condition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. We call it 'career malaise', 'burn-out', 'discontented doctor syndrome'.

Dispirited physicians rarely cause adverse outcomes in patients … but they may experience frustration, depression, absence of joie de vivre. Instead of ‘career surgery’ or ‘career medications’, we prescribe systematic and rational planning.

Ask yourself…

Phase 1…who am I?

Phase 3…how do I get to

where I want to be?

Phase 2…what’s out there?
