Non-Clinical Jobs for Physicians-in-Training
"What else can I do with my degree other then practice medicine?"
I get asked this question a lot so I thought I would discuss it here on my blog:
Our mission is residency! But there are many reasons that students and physicians many want to consider doing work in other health-care related jobs that can use their degree, make connections, and make a few dollars as well.
I get asked this question by a lot of students who are:
- Waiting to match
- Can't get matched
- Taking time off to have children
- Taking time off to take care of family members
- Made it to medicine but want to explore other options other then practicing medicine
Here are some other options you might want to consider:

I hope this helps you. Remember to make connections and network. "Who you know" is critical in Medicine and in Life!! Our mission is residency! I am rooting for your success.
Warmest Wishes,
John
