Many people in medical school will consider family practice jobs as an area to work in after completing their school and residency requirements. This type of job offers many benefits such as the ability to know your patients on a long term basis and fairly stable work hours that allow the doctor to enjoy a personal life more fully. However, while there are advantages, there are also disadvantages as well.

What are some of the disadvantages of family practice jobs? After spending so many years tied to medical school, many new doctors find the prospect of yet again being tied to one location, this time working as a family doctor, to be overbearing and mundane. After the liberating feeling of finally graduating, many doctors find that they want to see the world, enjoy new experiences, and meet new people. In family practice jobs, you often will be tied to one location for your entire career as you build a client base. You largely treat the same patients more or less as well. And with a busy practice, you have little time to travel and see other parts of the world.

With these disadvantages in mind, many new doctors consider working as a locum tenens in family practice jobs. Working as a locum tenens provides the doctor to accept temporary contract assignments in different parts of the country, per his or her licensing. So such a doctor is able to keep a home base in the area of his choosing but can still work for several weeks or months at a time in one location before moving on. In his or her off time from work, the opportunity to explore a new city is an attractive offer for many. These doctors are also often able to schedule downtime between assignments, which makes it far easier for them take vacations and enjoy personal time away from work. 医師求人
