Post a CommentIgnore Everybody & Nonclincial Jobs
By Mehul Sheth DO
A great book that I found to be a must read for anyone looking to expand their career opportunities is Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity.
A short book that took me the better part of an hour lunch at Chipotle, it nonetheless has some powerful things to say for physicians. This book is not geared towards clinicians, but rather artists who are looking to fulfill their creative urges. In some sense, that was a great parallel for me when I was evaluating non-clinical careers. Although I had a great job, it wasn’t satisfying. I was frustrated with the idea that my entire CV was composed of clinical positions and didn’t really describe me as a total person. As I contemplated the transition from clinical practice to non-clinical I realized that without the ability to demonstrate translatable experience I was looking at the possibility of quitting medicine and either entering a full time degree program or taking an internship or other low paying job to gain practical experience.
