Hi All,
Glad I stumbled on this site.
I am considering a career change and wanted to get some input from those of you in practice (IMHOTEP) and those in residency.
I am currently board certified in Emergency Medicine (5 years post residency) and very stable financially but considering going back to residency in nuclear medicine with the specific goal of returning to Academia (prior to emergency medicine I had a PhD in physics).
Any thoughts on such a shift back. Financially I am sure I would take a big hit, but I suppose I could moonlight in the ED during residency.
Also from reading the prior posts, it appears that if you are board certified, it will only take 2 years??
Does this apply to emergency medicine?
Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
Especially any real world experience from those of you that went from other fields of medicine -, internal medicine, peds, surgery etc ... to nuclear med.
cheers
