US trip

Am off to the US today for a week. It will be an important week for me as it will determine if I decide to move to the US to further my postgraduate medical training.

Lots of people have asked me why I am considering moving to a new country for training when I am already established in the UK training system. To be honest, I don’t know but somehow, I feel as if I am not getting the training I need here in the UK. It could just be due to the hospital I am working in, which might improve if I move to a different hospital. Don’t get me wrong, I have really enjoyed my time working in my current hospital. I have met really friendly and helpful consultants and registrars who have taught me well. But somehow, the daily grind is wearing me down. I can feel my enthusiasm for going to work each day decreasing day by day.

Maybe all I need is a good break, a good holiday.

Or maybe I am getting restless and would like to explore new pastures.

We shall see…..
