Anyone transitioned from primary care to a specialty or vice versa?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone transitioned to primary care from a specialty? I'm a relatively new grad that has about 2 yrs of experience, all primary care jobs. I've always wondered what it would be like to be in a specialty. I'm feeling the burnout already and mostly from the charting. I've had 2 different primary care jobs and the charting is pretty heavy in both. I'm pretty quick about typing and charting too and I still don't see how it can get any faster than it already is for me.

More importantly, is the stress level at a specialty any lower, especially considering the fact that your visits are more focused in one area? Between taking everything into consideration, along with walk-ins/sick visits, new patient visits, annual visits-- primary care can give someone an ulcer just thinking about the workflow.
