Few fields offer a wider variety of opportunities. Most doctors' professional lives are filled with caring for people and continuously learning more about the human body. Every day in communities around the country, doctors work in neighborhood clinics, hospitals, offices, even homeless shelters and schools to care for people in need.
But physicians also do many other things. Physician researchers are at work today developing exciting new treatments for cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases like AIDS. Academic physicians share their skills and wisdom by teaching medical students and residents. Others work with health maintenance organizations, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, health insurance companies, or in corporations directing health and safety programs. People with medical skills are in demand everywhere.

A lot of doctors switch ot the business world and work with the administrative side of things. Another option you can consider is working for staffing companies and helping them find the right people for open medical positions. Lastly, there is always medical research if you are not into the daily patient care thing.

Whats so bad about practicing medicine? You're a doctor. You're supposed to treat patients and heal them possibly. Unless you have another skill you're good at, I don't know what else you can do other than practice medicine - either at a clinic or an insurance firm to qualify applicants......
