In some types of hospital medicine, for example, ob/gyn, hospital work can lengthen one’s career because it doesn’t involve the same administrative, clinic, and other obligations that can extend the day, said Lisa Bukovac, DO, who runs the OB Hospitalist Group in Greenville, South Carolina.

“Each shift is a finite period of time, and when the shift is over, the work is done,” said Bukovac. “You’re not having to go home and deal with administrative work, seeing patients in the office, or scheduling patients in the OR [operating room], which makes it a career extender for many physicians.”
