Pros
I get to drive around the city to provide in home healthcare for those who have difficulty getting out to appointments. I have the opportunity to really get to know my patients and their families. I feel like I can truly meet people where they are with their healthcare in order to improve their quality of life. While the job is quite demanding, it is also very flexible and I am able to find a balance that allows me to grow as a professional while maintaining my personal and family life. I feel the management and executive teams care about the employees and I always feel that my voice is heard when dealing with issues. I would definitely rank my time at MD2U as the most rewarding career I have ever had!
Cons
This job demands efficiency and it is not for everyone. It is important to find a work/life balance or many employees feel they are working all of the time. I think because we always have our computers with us and work out of our cars and some often take work home, it is easy to get in the trap of "always working." Finding that balance, for me, is the most difficult part, however I manage to be successful at this on most days. EMR can sometimes be slow, causing difficulties which are very frustrating. Also the constant changes/updates to insurance changes, charting changes, etc, can really be frustrating at times, however, that seems to be the case anywhere. Healthcare is constantly changing. This is definitely a career that requires a go with flow attitude!
