How is everyone managing to keep a healthy work life balance? I work in a hospital system doing a lot of limb salvage call. Busy OR, call, clinic combined with staffing shortages has been challenging last year or so. I've pretty much had to decrease my productivity by reducing number of clinic...
I get that all doctors have very busy schedules, and I am not expecting to walk into anything less, but in YOUR OPINION is your work/life balance sound as a "typical" physician in pediatrics (Would prefer to hear from peds doctors in a hospital setting instead of somewhere like a private...
I made this account recently pretty much just to get a feel for what the internet has to say about my situation.
TLDR: i'm accepted to med school but struggling with the idea of work/life balance, passion, time commitment, etc. of medical school, considering PA school (change my mind).

This is purely out of curiosity. I've recently been reading up on what kind of specialties/residency programs there are, how many hours some doctors work, etc., and I'm wondering, is there any data that shows the job satisfaction rate for different physicians? If not, what do you think are the...
Hi everyone,
I am nearing the end of my informal Post Doc and am trying to decide whether to stay on in the position I am currently in in or seek alternative employment in order to find more work/life balance and pay off student loans faster. I could see myself ending up in a group practice...
Hey all! Soon to be graduating fourth year medical student here. My wife and I got married about a month before starting medical school, and we had our first child while I was a third year (he’s 1 now). Recently matched into psychiatry in the Midwest. Ask me anything!

Hey ladies - You’ve finished residency, you’re now living the life as an attending. You knew once you graduated that you wanted a ‘work-life’ balance (whatever that looks like for you), hit the gym again (get that pre-med body back right?) and have time for your family, friends, cooking...
Heya,
Around 1.5 months ago I started dating someone who is finishing her residency. We met at the wedding party and hit it off . Dating so far has been both fun and challenging. Additionally, I work in the legal field at one of the leading banks. So my schedule tends to be erratic and her...
I'm a pathology applicant this year who is looking at both MGH and BWH, and I'm curious -- is the workload similar? Old threads suggest that MGH residents used to work a bit harder than BWH residents, but there are one or two comments saying that's outdated. Can anyone compare the current hours...
*Residents are welcome (weekends available). All specialties except Pathology are accepted*
I’m currently looking for physicians interested in independently contracting for us performing, in-home, pre-scheduled history and physical evaluations of seniors insured under the Medicare Advantage...
I am currently a graduate student in occupational therapy, wrapping up my "book based" learning in preparation to go out on clinical fieldwork rotations. I am very interested in hand and upper extremity therapy, and this has translated into a very strong medical interest. I have done some...
