Tons of jobs require many interactions with other people, clients, patients, customers, etc. Introverts have limited social energy and thrive when they have time to work alone and not get interrupted by others constantly. Let me introduce you to medical coding!
I consider myself an introvert and found constant patient interaction very draining. What I did love, however, was nice chats with some of my coworkers. It’s not because you are an introvert, that you don’t want to have any contact at all, we are still humans and that makes us social beings.
Depending on where you place yourself on the introverted spectrum, you would like more or less social contact during your workday. Keep reading if you want no direct client/patient/customer contact.
Maybe you worked in healthcare as well, and are experiencing compassion fatigue, you are thinking about changing jobs because you are so burned out but don’t want to leave the medical field. Consider becoming a medical coder if this is the case!
