Do you ever wonder if there are some careers out there for doctors that is not just seeing patients, patients and more? I some times do! After awhile, you want some break from the busy practice of medicine. Fortunately, for me, I came in contact with the right people so I could find some of these career paths that I enjoy.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and then I will write, rather blog, about the alternate career paths. I am an internist practicing in the greater Philadelphia area. In addition to internal medicine practice at Jenkintown Internal Medicine, I also work as a Medical Review Officer (MRO) at another company part time and do some sleep medicine practice part time. First, let me explain about the Medical Review.

How Does MRO work?

We are compiling a list of hospitals in the United States that offer Externships to medical graduates/medical students with an emphasis on those programs that accept IMG's. Externships are learning opportunities, similar to internships, offered by hospitals to give you short practical experiences.
