I’m sure others have considered this, I really feel burned out on my specific subspecialty. For the most part I do interventional pain management. I am midway through my career, but I cannot in anyway see doing this for the future, it just doesn’t feel like I’m making a difference. I’m honored to be a physician and to help a handful of people, but any suggestions on changing specialties mid life? I have perhaps 15 to 20 years yet to practice.. I’ve looked at concierge medicine, I’m open

Do you know what specialty you would want to change to or is it more just a general lack of fulfillment where you are now? I imagine the patient population you work with is really really tough, and can take a toll. A friend of mine in your position reduced her FTE doing pain and started to spend a chunk of time instead teaching at a med school and loved that. You can and should make a change now if it’s compromising your well-being.

Consider teaching! Start looking at local medical schools or residency programs. You’re probably really good at it and it brings a different kind of fulfillment that helps alleviate the burnout that many of us feel even early in our careers with just straight patient care. Or least a long break to just explore. Despite our brutal training making us think otherwise, you deserve it and don’t have to do the traditional path
