How Long Should an Emerging EM Doctor Work in the Emergency Department?

Emergency medicine is a young specialty with EM docs transitioning out of their clinical emerge work at a younger age than other specialties. With night shifts and high pressure environment, it's probably not great for you or your health to practice into your 70s. If you're over 55 and you've worked more than 15 years, you can opt out of nights. I think those options make the longevity and emergency medicine a real possibility.
