About this episode
The pandemic has wrought a lot of change, not least to doctors relationship to their careers. While still loving the patient interaction, we're increasingly hearing that doctors are disillusioned with the other aspects of medicine. If you're feeling that way, there are ways to structure your thinking to help you make sense of your career. In this podcast Claire Kaye, former portfolio GP and now coach, explains how she went about deciding medicine wasn't for her, and how she helps doctors go through that process too.
