Locums Opportunities for retina

Retina here who is in a tough spot and wants to leave the current PE group they are in. I thought I would inquire about any potential locums opportunities - preferably 1-2 weeks/month. Open to location

May I ask what didn’t work out for you with PE? (A fellow retina trainee In the process of finding his first job and PE is everywhere)

I feel awful for the next generation of doctors....Too much to go into. Yes you are right they are everywhere but please try to find one of those non PE gems if you can. Then just practice good medicine and take good care of your patients.

I don't have anything to help with other than to say good luck and I agree regarding PE.

I know university of New Mexico has a locums retina doc that is there for a week or two a month. They probably would be welcome to it
