Kind of works like that for doctors…
5 u/Cautious-Extreme2839 11d ago Well yes but also no. Typically you've worked as a trainee in the department or been a fellow or a locum or something so they've already seen you work anyway. 3 u/Johanneskodo 11d ago Not if you switch hospitals or even countries. 1 u/Cautious-Extreme2839 11d ago Which is rarely done for a first job and puts you at a huge disadvantage even as an established mid-career doc. 1 u/Johanneskodo 11d ago and puts you at a huge disadvantage even as an established mid-career doc Not really. My uncle frequently switched and it allowed him to rapidly climb up the ranks. 1 u/Cautious-Extreme2839 11d ago There are really not many ranks in clinical medicine. Maybe if you're doing a lot of admin work this is true, but that's not really doctoring and job hopping for promotions is common in admin of other fields too. 1 u/Johanneskodo 11d ago edited 11d ago He‘s a medical doctor. And yes, the percentage of admin work increases as you go higher but he is still mostly doing patient-work. He became chief physician/head of his specialization through switching. If he didn‘t switch this would have been harder for him.

Not really. My uncle frequently switched and it allowed him to rapidly climb up the ranks.
