Anyone here make the switch to PCP after several years of hospital medicine? I'm IM but thinking of making the switch due to increasing burnout, stress, and dissatisfaction doing inpatient (patients' families are increasingly out of control now with their hostility and demands, consultants are lazy and rude/disrespectful, and the general stress of being a hospitalist with its schedule and having to deal with extremely sick patients who can die at any moment even when you're doing all the right stuff). And with PCP pay in my area being much higher than hospitalists, I'm thinking the grass may actually be greener. For anyone who has made the transition, how did it go? Was it easy or difficult? Anything you wish you knew beforehand?

Does anyone have experience working as full time faculty for the UC system (UCLA, UCSD, etc.)? Wondering how the workload compares to Kaiser or other systems and whether having residents and students actually makes the job more sustainable. The benefits seem quite good.
