Pros

Helping Patients get well. The personal satisfaction of watching patients be treated by compassionate, brilliant doctors with cutting edge treatments, who save their life.

Cons

Working with insurance companies who often deny these life-saving procedures because of bureaucracy and a medical system in it for profit. The layers of management and "proper procedure" are ridiculous!!

Pros

Massachusetts General Hospital provides good enough salary, considering that postdoctoral fellows are very underpaid in many other institutions. I also like to have an opportunity to collaborate with other researchers in the Broad institute and the Harvard Medical School. Supervisors are great, and they are really the leading scientists or physicians in the area. It gives you really an impact for your long term career. Another good thing about working at Massachusetts General Hospital is a good benefit package. It includes dental, vision, health, and care. So, you don't need to worry about those issues.

Cons

No Child Care Benefit !!!! More support for research scientists.

Pros

There are great physicians, nurses, and scientists at MGH. Patient care is outstanding. There is great satisfaction in caring for the patients we have here -- they are usually much sicker than at community hospitals (I have moonlighted quite a bit at these, and whenever there is a really sick patient, he/she gets sent "to town"). The culture at MGH is great in that patient care comes first and the staff are usually very nice to each other.

Cons

Especially for physician scientists, it is difficult to get great support for advancing your research program. Almost every scientist is completely paid with "soft" money and junior investigators often are there to support more senior people in their divisions.
