Redesigning Your Career Without Quitting Medicine
Most people who reach out to me about coaching start with something like:
āI love being a doctor. I like the patients. I enjoy the clinical problem-solving. But⦠I canāt keep practicing like this.ā
Theyāre burned out, but not broken.
Theyāre bored, but not disinterested.
They want to keep practicing medicine⦠just not in the way theyāre doing it now.
Iāve noticed that this is a bit different from what other coaches report. Others primarily see clients who are done with medicine. I think my experience is different because it mirrors my own story.
I seriously considered leaving, but ultimately, I didnāt want to stop being a doctor. I just couldnāt keep being one in a system that stifled my creativity, values, and wellbeing.
So instead of quitting, I rebuilt.
This weekās blog is about how you can, too. Iām sharing seven unconventional ways to reclaim your autonomy and create a medical career that works for youānot against you.
āThe privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.ā

Coach's Corner
Take 5ā10 minutes this week and journal your answers to the following:
- What do I love most about practicing medicine?
- Where do I feel most alive in my day?
- What parts of my current practice drain me the most? Why?
- If nothing were off the table, what would my ideal practice look like?
This simple exercise can help you spot patterns and possibilities you may be missing. Sometimes, the first step isnāt changing everything. Itās noticing what matters.
