Significant Career Lesson From a Physician at Outpatient Practice
A significant career lesson learned is that the path to a goal is rarely linear; "you'll never actually know" the right way until the destination is reached, and obstacles encountered along the way, while changing the route, do not necessarily preclude the original goal. Unexpected detours, in fact, may ultimately prove to be part of a larger plan, as "everything does happen for a reason".

What is one lesson that you've learned that has proved significant in your career?
You'll never actually know the right way to get to something. Ultimately, you're still going from A to B.
You may think there's one specific pathway, but it's probably more like this. You'll never truly know until you get there.
Everything does happen for a reason, and if it happens, it's meant to be. Don't think that because an obstacle made you take a different route, that it's never going to happen. You really never know.
