The Career Equation …..
……it’s more than a paycheck
The Career Equation
Examine Yourself:
When it comes to work, what do I naturally enjoy doing?
What am I naturally good at? What energizes me? What stresses me? What motivates me? What annoys me?
4
The Career Equation
Examine the Big Picture
Do I want to be part of a small group or big group? Do I want a rural location, the suburbs, or the city? What type of patients do I want to work with: wealthy,
middle class,, or those in financial need? Do I want to see high volume of patients in shorter bursts?
Or work with a smaller number of patients for a longer duration?
What type of provider-patient culture do I want to be part of? What type of peer culture do I want to be part of?
5
The Career Equation
Do something where you can make a difference
Use your natural talent and abilities Have passion for your job and your life Be happy at work and at home Be a living example for others
If you love what you do, you will make a difference in
the world.6
