Donāt wait until your ājust okā job becomes truly unbearable. Always better to resign calmly than in rage and chaos.
If you have not run your physician employment contract through an AI engine, why not?
A 2 minute review could answer lots of questions about what you could do next with your career.

Naomi Lawrence-Reid's career looks different than originally expected, but she wouldn't have it any other way.
As founder of @docdifferently, she teaches physicians how to build a flexible and fulfilling career outside of full-time clinical medicine.

Iām so excited! Itās a 2-week peds block and Iām the only MD teaching them. I also get an adjunct faculty appointment for it. Very grateful to have found yet another great gig outside of mainstream medical academia.
āI canāt leave academics because I want to keep teachingā
After 7 years of teaching residents at locums, writing board questions for qbanks, I now teach the pediatrics block to PA students.
Teaching continues beyond academia!
Iāve walked away from low base rate offers and lo and beholdā¦here they come with a higher base offer. Gotta talk with your feet sometimes.
I only earn more because I negotiated to earn more.
If a hospital tells me they donāt negotiate, I donāt accept the job.
Youāre worth what youāll work for.

I left full-time academics 8 years ago, but found ways to keep teaching:
- I teach residents at locums sites
- I am part-time faculty teaching the pediatrics block to PA students
- I am a test question writer for Qbanks and board review courses.

āThank you for that information. So this role involves X, Y, and Z? My rate for this complex and involved position is ______. Let me know when youāre able to meet that number and we can discuss furtherā
The biggest negotiation mistake I see doctors make is cutting off contact with a facility or recruiter after a lowball offer.

@DocDifferently this is why I do locums. Is it hard to be away from my familyā¦ Absolutely. But when Iām with my family, Iām 100% present.
