Re: Why Are Physicians Leaving Clinical Medicine? - 09-05-2008, 10:26 AM

Yes,

There is a seizable number of clinicians who are leaving the practice. You are correct nature about the developing world's dilemma regarding the shifting the profession especially from Clinical practice to others.

"How will I replace my income from practicing medicine?" i think in nepal and other developing country this is still the question of present, which is blocking doctors to change their profession.
Yes Ashis, they are very successful in their profession too but some of them are not and just thought that they could contribute more from other profession so they changed.

Maybe they contributed enough already in their practice
For example I met one ophthalmologist who had gold medal in MBA but later came to medicine and won most of the prestigious medals from Harvard!!!

Next one was who changed to Pathologist from professor of medicine. He also does research in microbiology!!!

They are great.


Best wishes,
