During the peri-retirement period, doctors may find themselves contemplating retirement or looking for ways to reduce their clinical workload. Engaging in part-time or side gigs can provide a gradual off-ramp from full-time clinical practice, allowing individuals to adjust to a new lifestyle without the sudden loss of income. Dr. John Jurica, a Medical Director, blogger, podcaster, and Certified Physician Executive with expertise in non-clinical careers and side gigs, described various part-time and side gig opportunities physicians can explore during this time. These options range from remote work in fields like medical writing, chart reviews, and medical device regulatory consulting to more hands-on roles like medical legal pre-litigation consulting. These opportunities not only offer financial stability but also allow individuals to continue utilizing their medical expertise in different capacities.   “Even people, as they approach retirement, some of them have been half burned out or mostly burned out and just haven't really done anything about it. To me, we have a bunch of people that just leave medicine and do things, but there's a lot of jobs that they go to, at least a subset of those, that they're part-time. They can be done part-time at the beginning and become full-time. I think there's an option to just do the in-between and try something and see if you like it.”  - John Jurica MD   Episode highlights: Challenges of transitioning from active practice Rise of virtual platforms for part-time work Social security disability chart reviews Collaborative roles with non-physician providers Medical device regulatory consulting Medical-legal pre-litigation consulting Legacy and life purpose post-retirement   Resources: Ideal Physician Job Search Formula https://www.thehappymdacademy.com/store/hUXKudq8 Nonclinical Career Summit Clinical Practice: Make It Great or Move On: https://www.nonclinicalcareersummit.com/   Connect with Dr. Jurica: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-jurica/ Website: https://nonclinicalphysicians.com/   Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/8gjkeaMFK7Y ------------ Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact  ----------- We would love to hear your feedback.

She is a dual board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician, a Certified Life Coach for Physicians, and a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator.Dr. Melo highlighted the societal pressure on women in the medical field to always prioritize others and never say no. This pressure stems from early socialization as "good girls" who are expected to be accommodating, hardworking, and always pleasing others. This ingrained behavior can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction in one's career as individuals struggle to meet unrealistic expectations and constantly prioritize others over themselves.Tune in for a candid discussion on the realities of healthcare, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the need for individual action to prioritize wellness in a challenging industry.  "You're going to need to decide where are you going to have boundaries because you can't do it all. You can't show up this way. You can't always say yes and never say no. You will drown in resentment and frustration and overwhelm and burnout. It's just not possible to do all of these things at this high level and, succeed, or be happy." - Megan Melo MD  Episode highlights: Gender and generational differences in healthcare The impact of leadership and vulnerability on physician well-being The good girl syndrome in medicine Widgetizing healthcare Setting boundaries and disappointing others  Resources: Ideal Physician Job Search Formula https://www.thehappymdacademy.com/store/hUXKudq8The 5 Dirty Little Secrets of Physician Leadership https://support.thehappymd.com/physician-leadership-training-dirty-little-secrets-opt-in Connect with Dr. Melo: Website: https://www.healthierforgood.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-melo-md-71329a208/ Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/lTL5a_V-YqU Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact We would love to hear your feedback.
