A continuación, le indicamos cómo puede mantener la motivación mientras hace la transición de carrera en Working with Physicians.

The greatest realization to make the transition is when the pulls or stronger to you than the pushes. Not vanity pulls or simply because the grass seems greener. But pulls in terms of reaching your goals and aspirations. When you start noticing that a different industry has the people and the impact potential more aligned with what you want to achieve. This is crucial for physicians taking on nonclinical work, whether more administrative, entrepreneurial, or anything else. It’s also important to realize physicians aren’t burning out simply because the work is too hard, it’s because the work we’re being asked to do isn’t what we signed up for and doesn’t seem to directly correlates to with patient care or the mission of helping people.

Find what aligns what you’re good at, what makes you happy, what you want to achieve. Work on the overlapping area of that venn diagram. That’s the concept of ikigai, and discovering your own ikigai is so powerful because it allows you to improve yourself in a way where you feel least like you’re sacrificing other aspects of yourself.

Learning is a skill that ought to constantly renewed by keeping oneself abreast with the latest trends in the ever changing and evolving medical practice.

One thing I’ve found helpful when transitioning to working with Physicians, is really to understand motivating factors. This is unique to the individual physician and circumstance. Many people have gone into medicine with the sole intent to help people and improve the health of humanity, and have realized that there are many other factors, barriers and opportunities involved in providing good quality healthcare in a high reliable fashion. Spend time learning from your dyad physician or team as to the motivating factors and how to partner together to achieve shared success. 🙌

It’s easy to go through day after day without thinking actively about your own growth. Physicians see becoming an attending as the light at the end of the tunnel and the process to get there is long, arduous, unforgiving. Once you become that attending, many end up feeling stuck because of how healthcare is practiced today. Stuck between working for their employer and losing autonomy with never learning other skills outside of medicine and having a mountain of student loan debt to overcome. It’s only with persistent reflection on the self that will help one break out of the mundane cycle that ensues.
