When the pain is the schedule—not the patients
Many physicians arrive here after months of invisible workload creep: inbox obligations, committee load, and unpredictable nights. That pattern is exhausting even when you still care deeply about patients.
Flexible contract assignments can reduce certain structural stressors—clearer start/stop dates, fewer standing meetings, and explicit volume conversations before you arrive. This is work-design change, not a demand that you enjoy being on the road.
