Does reading about healthcare news or innovation in your free time ever feel like homework? I just started reading a book about the future of the healthcare industry. For me, it feels like investment in myself to try to learn more about this industry that I find my career in.

This makes me realize that I really don't read all that much about the healthcare industry, beyond what I see in the news. When I read on my own time I tend to read history, or sometimes books on favorite musicians or artists. I guess I figure I get enough healthcare information during the workday.

Umm, I never think of it as homework so much as another part of my job. But either way, it does feel a little bit like work. I assume most industry professionals have similar feelings when they are trying to stay up to date on their industries advancements.

It depends on the topic within innovation and how it is written. Just like any other book. What book are you reading?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
