You can choose to remove the ", commonly seen in family practice" it sounds good with or without it.

I'll try re-phrasing your sentence, I hope this helps;

Due to lack of experience in treating patients with mental illness which is seen in family practice, I worked as a psychiatric aid for several years setting aside my goal to become a family physician in order to gain the expertise needed for my practice.


I believe the only thing that made your sentence tricky is the input and the logical order of the phrases that make up your sentence, this is also influenced with the fact that you have the idea, however you are in doubt if this is the right order of the phrases in your sentence.

I wish you the best of luck in your practice.

Hello, I would like to help you with your sentence. I would like to give you another suggestion to help you.

First, I think you are trying to explain what occurred to the reader to avoid confusion. However, it would be more simple if you formed more than one sentence.

EX: "A few years after beginning my career in family medicine, because of lack of experiences in treating patients with mental illnesses that commonly seen in family practice, I worked as a psychiatric fellow for several years."

"When I started my career in medicine, I lacked experience to treat patients with mental illnesses that were commonly seen in family practice. As a result, a few year after beginning my career in family medicine, I worked as a psychiatric fellow for several years."

The sentence above tells your experience better. If you compare both sentences, you can see that the reader can easily understand that you lacked experienced then you began to gain experience.

I hope this helps!
