Sorry if this isn’t the place for this… still learning to navigate Lemmy and not desperate enough yet to go back to Reddit.
Title says it all. Wife is cardiac surgeon, just got pushed out of her first attending job due to admin being hostile. She’s got good patient care, and has good surgical skills and outcomes, but never had a good mentor and has always struggled with standardized testing. She’s beside herself now and considering leaving medicine.
Will take any tales of people who have successfully remediated after failing boards and/or general advice.
Thanks for the reassurance and wisdom, @themeatbridge@lemmy.world. I fully admit that a large part of wanting to write is my own anxiety and feeling helpless about something that I cannot control. I also want her to press on, likely falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy (given that I’ve spent most of the childcare effort during residency and the first two years out of residency). But I’ll try to double down on my support regardless of the decision.
I take it you’ve landed on your feet after leaving medicine, albeit a bit sooner in the process than my wife?
