Junior resident here, probably a little early for such a question, but I’m very curious. What are the major cons of private practice that we might not foresee or be aware of while we are housed within academia for most of training?
i always figured I’d be an academic, but the farther I get I to residency, the more I wanna be a generalist. With that, I’ve started romanticizing the idea of what life in PP must be like. I’m looking to hear some stories to help me have a balanced understanding of the less beautiful aspects of it. Obviously there are still options outside of academia that can be very different—employed by a system vs partner in a larger group vs single partner or small practic, etc.—but I would love to have some more perspective if anyone has a moment to share about what they didn’t expect that irks them.
