Hi Chioma, ophthalmology is known for offering one of the best work-life balances in medicine, especially if you work in a clinic. Most procedures are scheduled, there is very little emergency work, and night shifts are uncommon compared to other specialties. Many doctors choose it for exactly that reason. A study in the Journal of Ophthalmology (Gameiro, G. R., et al. (2019). Why ophthalmology? Motivating factors behind specialty choice. Journal of Ophthalmology) confirmed that flexible working hours and a better work-life balance are among the top reasons why physicians choose ophthalmology. We’ll soon publish a blog post covering work-life balance across specialties. You can check for updates here: https://get2germany.com/en/blog René from Get2Germany 😊
