What specialty are you considering? As you may have seen, I switched to IM after 1 year. Its not as exciting, but the options and potential flexibility are certainly more. Will locums give you benifits? Are there any gyn only jobs out there for you?

I am trying again for a loan now that our house sale is all settled, so we will see about that. They extended the time it will be due but that is fast approaching. The locums doesn't care about the tail, but groups might (see below). My plan is to pa

How many years? Which specialty? You might not be able to finish where you left off. You might have to start over.

Has anyone left a residency program, stayed home for several years and then decided to finish their residency where they left off? Is it even possible to be accepted in a program after such a long gap? Am I crazy to even think of resuming? I have had

Like DrEthiope i am also an ob/gyn. I have been out 2 years from residency. I am actively trying to get out of obstetrics, I can't stand it, the lifestyle is HORRIBLE and patients are extremely demanding (at least in private practice). I never see my

becco, wow I am so sorry you have to go through this. Not even locums will hire you without a tail? I am sorry I have no good advice or experience to help you. Did you have any luck speaking with your malpractice carrier in extending the time you hav

Thanks for your reply! And your others in the past. You have been a very helpful voice on MomMD! I see you have a similar catch22 situation. Free tail but no work, vs. tail and ability to work (with more debt)... Since my post I have done some more

I'm an OB/GYN who has don't gyn-only for 7 of the 9 years since residency. I kinda lucked out because the first practice I was with closed because the owner lost his malpractice insurance and I ended up being hired by a gyn-only practice in the area

I'm considering the same thing, becco, so it'll be interesting to see what others say. I'm at the point of just closing my practice, not paying a tail, filing bankruptcy and just letting the chips fall where they may. My malpractice insurer will give

It is not for everyone - certainly - and you really have to figure out if you would like being in the military too, but I took the HPSP scholarship for the AF. I'm very happy with it, and in contrast to all the griping and moaning you see on SDN, I'm

Puggy-all I can say is, be careful what you borrow and read the dotted lines or it will come back to bite you-I went to school while I was single, but lived solely off of my loans. At the time, about $1000 a month for everything. Rent was about hal

My advice would be to take the laborist job! It sounds great! Especially if they cover benefits (most locums assignments do not). Just my two cents. Good luck!
