In this episode of the Locums Lounge, Dr. Mimi, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and full-time locum tenens doctor, shares her experience of transitioning from practicing full-time locum tenens to a permanent full-time job as an associate director. She discusses the frustrations of sacrificing important aspects of her personal life, such as scheduling doctor and dentist appointments, and not being able to plan important events with her family. Dr. Mimi highlights the benefits of being a locums doctor and how it allows you to plan your job around your life, rather than planning your life around your job. As a takeback coach, Dr. Mimi shares how she can help potential clients successfully develop strategies to break free from the mindset that you work for your job, and instead, take back your career and let your job work for you!
