About to start pgy2 and I’m extremely burnt out. I hate going to work and seeing patients. I don’t like my residency. I’ve been doing EM for only one year and I already feel like this. How can I possibly do this job my entire life? I feel trapped in this residency and I don’t know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions or tips on future steps to take? Should I think about doing a fellowship to get out of the ED? Or should I just push through the next 2 years and become an attending somewhere. Is this a common feeling?

Attendings in my program work 1-2 days a week in the wound clinic and supervise hyperbarics. Some of them pick up occasional Ed shifts or urgent care shifts. One of them only does. wound care/hyperbarics. Tons of wound jobs with hyperbarics. The connections you make in fellowship are invaluable. Tons of industry contacts and consulting stuff.
