Quote: I'm a family physician, I worked part-time in urgent care for years when my kids were smaller. I really don't want to go back to direct patient care, though - I really enjoyed it at the time, but the pressures now to see patients so quickly are uncomfortable. Patient education is my love - I feel there is so much information out there that doesn't reach patients. I've looked into being a "medical coach" online, but there are insurance obstacles I haven't worked out yet.
Hmmm...Ellie, I'm on the business end of the healthcare stick, and I know exactly what you are talking about. I can think of a few options for you that you could do part time. I also noticed you mentioned teaching, so here's just some brainstorming:
teach at a community college
consultant work for insurance companies, private practices
freelance writer (I read a lot of health business articles written by physicians)
non-profit work (I can think of a ton of these who would love to have a physician working with them. I'm sure you could set your own hours too, but not a lot pay involved.)
