Download or read book Careers Beyond Clinical Medicine written by Heidi Moawad and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career changes are becoming common among professionals in recent years. Many physicians may want to change direction, but often do not know whether it is the right thing to do or if pursuing a career outside of clinical practice would achieve their professional goals. Doctors have the training and education to contribute to society in many beneficial ways in addition to traditional clinical practice. Yet, there is no formal mapped-out route for doctors who want to pursue alternative careers, which is where Careers Beyond Clinical Medicine comes in. Doctors at any stage, from early in training to mid-career, to nearing retirement, can use Careers Beyond Clinical Medicine to clearly evaluate the issues involved when considering a career change. This book shows physicians how they can serve society and patients in innovative ways, and make a notable impact on health care delivery, policy and quality when they use their medical background in a non-traditional career pursuit. The numerous unadvertised opportunities for physicians are explored and a step-by-step route with practical advice for finding the best career is described. Recent advances in healthcare technology, medical science, patient education require physicians to play new roles that have not traditionally been well-defined. Doctors can innovate and have a long-term productive impact on healthcare in the United States and throughout the world if they learn to seize the non-traditional career opportunities available to physicians, or even create a new way to fill a void in health care. Careers Beyond Clinical Medicine helps illuminate that path.

Download or read book Life After Medical School written by Leonard Laster and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1996 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanting to provide an insider's view of the rewards and difficulties of a medical career, Dr. Leonard Laster (physician, researcher, teacher, and columnist) interviewed 32 physicians to learn how their careers developed. We encounter a cornucopia of commonalities that have directed their professional lives. One became a physician to homeless people, another the CEO of a major pharmaceutical corporation, another a family physician after overcoming the barriers of racial prejudice, another the Surgeon General, another a state governor, and yet another the editor of one of the world's most prestigious medical journals. Life After Medical School contains reflections by training program directors on which person fits which path. Dr. Laster wisely pays much attention to whether it is more rewarding to be a generalist or a specialist. The storytellers conjure truthful portraits of their personal and professional lives as generalists. This personal career guide is of special appeal to parents and mentors of young people considering a career in medicine, to premedical and medical students, to residents-in-training, and to midcareer physicians. The book is also a treat to general readers in search of a frank and sensitive account of the nature of professionalism in medicine and what it means to be a doctor in today's swiftly changing world.

Download or read book Doctors and Their Careers written by Isobel Allen and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looks at the factors, both organisational and practical, affecting the activity and participation rates of women doctors. It is estimated that half of those entering medical schools will be women by the 1990s, and it is therefore important to assess the main influences on the careers of women doctors. Their contribution will be a key factor in future medical manpower planning and the Department of Health and Social Security, in initiating this research, recognised that it required more information on the careers of women doctors for four main purposes: 1) to be able to project more accurately the contribution women doctors will make in future towards the total supply of doctors, and, in particular, to anticipate any changes or trends in activity or participation rates; 2) to identify the main obstacles, whether institutional or domestic, which prevent women from participating as fully as they would like in medicine; 3) to improve the usefulness, accuracy and realism of careers advice in medicine at all stages from school to post-graduate training; 4) to assess the extent to which women doctors have found their aspirations limited more by the demands of the medical career system, based on the assumption of unbroken careers and full-time working, rather than by their own ambitions.
