I\u2019ll also review some of the different jobs in pediatrics, so you can see what\u2019s out there as you begin your own journey. Let\u2019s get started!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-first-jobs-in-pediatrics\"><strong>My First Jobs in Pediatrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was out there applying for jobs in pediatrics, I felt I was ultimately searching for a position that had kind, supportive supervisors, colleagues, and staff. Luckily, I was able to find all of those things at my first position at PM Pediatrics. My experience there was wonderful\u2014my supervising physicians and manager were absolutely fantastic, as were all my colleagues and the staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet, while it was a great job and I loved the people I worked with,<strong> I felt like something was missing.<\/strong> I\u2019d always been passionate about education and mentorship, so I wanted to find a position with teaching opportunities. This led me to my current role precepting medical students at New York Medical College and the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine. I also have teaching privileges at New York Medical College. I love these roles, and couldn\u2019t be happier now that I\u2019m doing some teaching!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, I remain per diem at PM Pediatrics and have the opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment with my wonderful manager\/medical director, colleagues, and staff stabilizing acutely ill children, which I enjoy as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It took a while for me to find the right combination of jobs in pediatrics, but I eventually did, and now I feel like I\u2019ve built the life I always wanted. And you can, too!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you a pediatrics resident or attending physician?

Do any of the following roles sound like a good fit for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-general-pediatrics-nbsp\"><strong>1. General Pediatrics&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>General pediatrics primary care is a common choice. This involves seeing newborns to young adults up to roughly 21 years of age. <\/strong>You\u2019ll follow patients longitudinally and practice preventative medicine, in addition to addressing acute and chronic illnesses. Be ready for lots of bread and butter cases along with more complex ones as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you find fulfillment in<\/strong> <strong>treating patients and families over many years and seeing children grow over time, <\/strong>this might be the perfect fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-pediatric-urgent-care-medicine-nbsp\"><strong>2. Pediatric Urgent Care Medicine&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In urgent care medicine, <strong>you see sick patients only.<\/strong> You\u2019ll stabilize acutely ill children and see cases that are often unique to the urgent care setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be a good fit for urgent care medicine if you like <strong>working in fast-paced, high-volume settings, doing<\/strong> <strong>procedures, and are efficient. <\/strong>Some emergency medicine trained physicians later work in urgent care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-academic-medicine\"><strong>3. Academic Medicine<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Academic pediatrics involves working in an academic center (or being affiliated with an academic center or medical school). It entails mentoring and teaching medical students, as well as producing research and scholarly works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These settings are well-suited to those who <strong>enjoy teaching, working with medical students, and performing research.<\/strong> Often, academic pediatricians have a particular area of interest in their scholarly work. So, for those who are passionate about a particular topic in medicine, this may be a good fit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-newborn-nursery-physicians\"><strong>4. Newborn Nursery Physicians<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These physicians exclusively see patients in the newborn nursery. This would be a great fit for someone who<strong> enjoys working with newborns only and speaking to new parents\/mothers that have just given birth.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-fellowships-nbsp\"><strong>5. Fellowships&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/blog\/how-to-get-into-fellowship-after-residency\/\">fellowships<\/a> you can pursue after a pediatrics residency, including but not limited to emergency medicine, rheumatology, cardiology, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re <strong>particularly interested in one field of medicine and comfortable with a few years of extra training, <\/strong>fellowships are a great choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-non-clinical-roles-nbsp\"><strong>6. Non-clinical Roles&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any other field in medicine, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/blog\/9-great-non-clinical-physician-jobs\/\">non-clinical roles<\/a> for pediatricians. These include working with pharmaceutical companies, becoming a medical director or medical liaison, or entering the field of medical education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, you can be a consultant and\/or pursue additional education, even becoming a Master in Business Administration (MBA). You can work in the nonprofit sector or travel abroad and work in global health. Plus, <strong>if you work in a non-clinical role, you can continue to work part-time in the clinic!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, these roles are a great choice for <strong>those who have expanded interests beyond medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-entrepreneurial-jobs-in-pediatrics-nbsp\"><strong>7. Entrepreneurial Jobs in Pediatrics&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many young physicians also start their own companies, such as for scrubs, private admissions counseling, podcasts, etc. Some have written books, created new devices, or products. Others pursue careers on social media as influencers or thought leaders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you\u2019re<\/strong> <strong>a creative person or want to develop alternate revenue streams, this might be a good choice for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My final advice would be to keep searching until you find the right fit for you, and look for jobs that align with your values and passions.<\/strong> Think carefully about what practice setting would be the right fit for you, identify your areas of interest, and pursue them in your job search.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, I was able to find the perfect fit for me when it came to teaching, primary care, and urgent care\u2026but it definitely took some time. Don\u2019t be discouraged and carve the right path for yourself\u2014you deserve to be happy after all the hard work you put in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Rosh Review is a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">board review<\/a>&nbsp;company providing Qbanks that boost your confidence for your boards and beyond.Gain access to board-style practice questions, detailed explanations, beautiful medical images, and more with a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/app.roshreview.com\/trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rosh Review free trial<\/a>&nbsp;to the Qbank of your choice!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to finding a job you love, there\u2019s no straightforward path to happiness.
