10 Careers Outside of Clinical Medicine 转行

Do remember that it is not a good idea to run from a bad experienceto an unknown one unless, of course, you are forced to? If you can change most,if not all, of your concerns, then you will most likely choose to stay withinclinical medicine. Remember also that although the grass may look greener, oftenit is not true and a true Utopia is probably impossible to find. You shouldalso be introspective about the potential that your need to leave medicinemight contain an internal need unmet and that a job change may not resolve theissue. 除非是不得已，从不好的经历跑入一个未知的领域并不是个好主意。如果你能解决大部分问题的话，你也就不用转行了。要记住特别绿的草可能不是真草，真正的理想职业是几乎不可能找到的。你也要内省转行的原因，转行不一定能解决问题。

Remember, you have achieved something great by just having theopportunity to practice medicine; if, in the end, it is not for you, that doesnot mean you are a failure. The same work ethic and mental prowess that allowedyou to get into medical school and complete residency will carry you towards successin many areas of interest that you decide to pursue. 要记住，你能有机会行医就已经做得很不错了。就算最后你没成为医生，并不意味着你失败了。从医学校毕业、完成住院医师实习期的这种实力能使你在你决定从事的行业中取得成功。
