Davies J - The decision to leave a career as a doctor is not an easy one to take. Aside from the obvious worry of leaving behind a regular income, there are huge psychological barriers to overcome when considering leaving the profession. Most doctors will not have taken lightly the decision to study medicine at university; it is a degree with essentially only one result - practising medicine and being a doctor. The medical degree is hard work but when the degree is completed a job comes along without most junior doctors really having to think about it. There is no job application form that has medical school leavers taxing their brains considering which skills they have that match the ones that the job requires. Graduates are doctors; if we have passed the exams we therefore have the correct skill set for the job.
