Video Summary

In this video, a panel of three speakers, Gabby O'Day, Catherine Logan, and Jordan Cancian, discuss the topic of assessing your job and knowing when it's time to make a change. They emphasize the importance of evaluating prospective jobs thoroughly and not settling for just any opportunity that comes your way. Jordan shares his personal experience of taking a job that turned out to be unsatisfactory and advises against blindly accepting offers without doing your due diligence. The panel discusses the need to understand factors such as the clinic schedules, case volume, patient source, future retirements, and financials of a potential job. They stress the importance of being needed rather than just wanted in a job and caution against staying in a job that is not putting you on the right track. They advise seeking advice from mentors, leaning on co-residents and fellowship friends, and being transparent about your concerns with your current employer. They also emphasize the importance of not burning bridges and being open to the possibility of changing jobs if it aligns with your goals. Overall, they highlight the need for ongoing evaluation and direction in your career, as well as the understanding that changing jobs may come with new challenges but can be necessary for professional growth.
