I rage-quit my academic pediatrician job in 2017 with lots of debt and no plan. Doctors donât have to stay in jobs they hate. We can be successful everywhere.
If you have not run your physician employment contract through an AI engine, why not?
A 2 minute review could answer lots of questions about what you could do next with your career.
Naomi Lawrence-Reid's career looks different than originally expected, but she wouldn't have it any other way.
As founder of @docdifferently, she teaches physicians how to build a flexible and fulfilling career outside of full-time clinical medicine.

âI canât leave academics because I want to keep teachingâ
After 7 years of teaching residents at locums, writing board questions for qbanks, I now teach the pediatrics block to PA students.
Teaching continues beyond academia!
I only earn more because I negotiated to earn more.
If a hospital tells me they donât negotiate, I donât accept the job.
Youâre worth what youâll work for.
I left full-time academics 8 years ago, but found ways to keep teaching:
- I teach residents at locums sites
- I am part-time faculty teaching the pediatrics block to PA students
- I am a test question writer for Qbanks and board review courses.

Some of the happiest doctors I know are moms who do locums.
They pick up 5-6 day assignments, negotiate sky-high rates, lock in at work, then come home and are fully present for their families for the rest of the month. They love it.
