As a practising Consultant in Occupational Medicine, I offer my perspective on Occupational Medicine as a career choice - made when I was at a significant crossroads (one of many!) in my own medical career.
If you have begun thinking about doing something different in your career, this is a must-listen.
Ultimately all doctors want to make an impact and I explain the positives of this untapped specialty and some of the many advantages for a work-life balance that can be sustainable and relatively lucrative.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

We specialise in the relationship between health and work
A lot of our work is being on the intersection between the employer and employee helping them to navigate their relationships in a healthy way
Occupational medicine does not require you to work nights or weekends the usual workday is 9 -5
There are a variety of doctors with a variety of qualifications and experience is a valuable asset
You can do the CESR route for all medical specialities so that you can DIY your own training
The Occupational Medicine diploma gives you the best return on investment than any other diploma
In Occupational Medicine, you can train in the private sector
There are so many different pathways and opportunities and you can also choose to start your own business
You do need to be able to work both remotely and on your own and you are providing advice and recommendations not mandates

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s the speciality I’ve been in the longest and I love it’
