Transitioning out of academic practice

Looking for some career advice from anyone who’s made a similar transition. I’m coming up on 2 years into my first attending job at a large academic center (chose to work here for geographic/personal reasons).

It’s time for me to leave the area and I will likely be transitioning to a full stack PP. For the past 2 years I have done zero OB, minimal neuraxial, and minimal regional (occasional opportunities at my per diem job).

Any recommendations from those who have made a similar practice transition after spending significant time away from blocks and/or OB? I am not too worried about working solo/fast as I have had the opportunity to do that with per diem/ambulatory site shifts. Just wondering if there is anything I can do in advance to smooth out my transition and reach speed/efficiency in the areas of regional/obstetric anesthesia

Thanks!

Private Loan Refi

Hello,

I am an anesthesiologist coming up on my first year out of residency. Wanted some advice regarding private loan refinance. Currently making 460k base + 60k bonus + OT. Likely total comp will be somewhere in the ballpark 600-750k depending on how crazy I go with overtime. Private loan servicer currently offering 4% on a 190k of remaining medical school and undergrad debt. My federal loan average rate is 6% currently. There are no origination fees or any other fees associated with the private loan. What are the reasons not to do this? Never was planning on PSLF.

Thanks!
