Quitting Fellowship
Hi all, looking for advice here. Matched into critical care medicine at a community program.
The training procedurally is ok and there is ample time off. However the attendings are pretty hands off and don’t do much for teaching. The population also isn’t really that critically ill with less than half being intubated or on pressors. From what I’ve seen and the current fellows tell me is that the current patient population is like this.
The fellows do find jobs in the area outside in the community at better hospital systems which is what I ultimately want, but I am unsure if I will be prepared. These hospital systems can have a sicker population. I’ve already passed IM boards and just finished a fellowship elsewhere.
I know I just started and I plan to do the first 45 days, but I don’t know if there is anyone else doing/has done crit care that can give me advice.
