Attention mid-career physicians: Let’s find our ikigai

"Mid-career colleagues: it’s time to go back to the future. Time to learn again. Time to build professional and social networks at work. Take a lunch break. Bring home a few fewer RVUs. I recently started a monthly journal club for our small section of gastroenterologists as a way to recreate some of what I loved about residency. A case conference to discuss difficult cases is next. While the rewards of these diversions are not quantifiable, they are still valuable. I hope my colleagues feel the same way. Maybe I’ll throw in some free movie tickets, as well." Anish Sheth is a gastroenterologist. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "Attention mid-career physicians: Let’s find our ikigai."
