Sam Lippolis is a coach and consultant who teaches professionals and organizations how to leverage telemedicine. Sam teaches physicians, other clinicians, and organizations how to plan, implement and grow telehealth. She has been implementing telehealth programs full time for 11 years. Her specialty is finding the path of least resistance to start a telemedicine service. And providing the expertise to get a telemedicine program off the ground. During our interview, Sam opened up a whole new way for me to look at telemedicine. It’s not just a part- or full-time alternative to conventional face-to-face medical practice. It’s a great way to expand your practice and bring back the patients you’ve lost during the pandemic. It’s really just a different, and often more efficient, way to provide clinical care that should be integrated into MOST clinical practices. Sam has a very useful free Telehealth Tip Sheet to get you started. You can get that by going directly to www.samlippolis.com/tips. You can find her website at samlippolis.com.

I recently joined Michelle Mudge-Riley on her free webinar to talk about mistakes that will derail a job search. We listed the major ones that we have witnessed and took questions from the audience. Here are some of the Mistakes That Will Derail a Job Search that we discussed. #1 – Tunnel vision and not keeping an open mind About possible jobs About how you will find a job About your capabilities #2 – Being intimidated by a job description Many of us have landed jobs even though we don’t meet the written “requirements” Many qualifications are “nice to have” not “must-haves” #3 – Preparing a CV rather than a resume Might be OK for an academic position What’s the difference? Focus on the summary with keywords Emphasize accomplishments with measurable outcomes #4 – Using the same cover letter and resume for different jobs or different industries Example – “leadership role in the health insurance or pharma industry” Each employer has its own needs  List experiences and skills for each potential employer #5 – Depending too much on electronic applications and not leveraging networks One of my guests found herself suddenly anxious to leave her clinical job – she reached out to some former classmates for advice and one of them just became aware of a job as a life insurance medical director – she applied – landed the job – and loves it 10 years later Networking is a foreign concept to physicians  We have a twisted concept of networking – standing around at a reception at the end of an all-day conference handing out business cards Networking is reconnecting with old medical school classmates and former co-residents directly #6 – Not learning the jargon of the field we’re pursuing hospital management, quality improvement, clinical documentation improvement, utilization management, expert witness, pharma jobs all have specific terms use in the cover letter, resume, interviews #7 – Not taking the interview seriously Failure to bring copies of your resume dress properly arrive early listen more than you talk asking enough questions #8 – Not preparing sufficiently Not understanding the job posting Not doing enough research on the position or organization Check out financial reports, stock reports, Guidestar, Google, rating agencies There are important issues at each step. But don’t get overwhelmed. Listen to the full episode to hear about 2 BONUS mistakes to avoid.

Mikael P. Cyll is a cardiac sonographer working in the Phoenix area for over 30 years. As he approached retirement from that clinical career, he developed an interest in narration and voice-over work, specializing in narration in the science, technical and medical fields. For the past year, he has been honing his voice-over skills and performing in a variety of freelance jobs, including audiobook narration, YouTube videos, and Zoom Theater productions. This is a new job option that I thought you’d like to hear about. So I brought Mike on the podcast to see what Mike can tell us about getting into this field. Based on our conversation, and listening to recordings by non-medical narrators, I believe that there is a need for voice-overs by knowledgeable clinicians. How many times have you heard a medication mispronounced on a radio or TV ad, or even in some type of educational video? I think it would be great if we had nurses and physicians familiar with medical terminology doing some of those narrations. Mike gave us a quick overview of his efforts to enter the field, and some pointers to get started. And I hope he inspired a few of you to start exploring this interesting field.  In addition to links to the resources Mike mentioned, I am including additional links that may benefit the listeners. Simply go to the show notes at nonclincalphysicians.com/medical-voice-over to access those links. Check out the Clinicians Career Cooperative here.

Today I present a conversation with an internationally recognized speaker, best-selling author, mentor, and consultant who will teach you how to be an IME (independent medical examiner). Dr. Emily Woolcock is among the country’s most well-known and respected orthopedic surgeons. She is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners. Dr. Woolcock founded businesses in Georgia, Florida, and Maryland, including the Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Institute, the Accident Rehabilitation Center, and National Orthopedic Consultants. In 2016 she established the IME Academy where students are taught to perform defensible, literature-based independent medical examinations. Emily is passionate about helping other physicians break free from the devastating work/life balance issues she experienced early in her career. As a wife and mother, she understands the struggles physicians and other healthcare professionals face as they become disenchanted by the changes in healthcare, and failed attempts at work/life balance. This is the first time I have had a guest with expertise in performing IMEs. IME consulting overlaps with what an expert witness might do. But it also involves examining patients, which some might find more compelling as a side job. Like expert witness work, it pays very well and you generally must continue to practice medicine. Emily dropped a lot of value-bombs. She clearly knows this topic well. If you’re interested in learning more about her IME course, you can find it at theimeacademy.com. I provide the IME Academy link and links to her books in the show notes at nonclincalphysicians.com/be-an-ime/ Check out the Clinicians Career Cooperative here.

For today’s interview, I have the pleasure of speaking with a fellow podcaster, and one of our Mentors on the Clinicians Career Cooperative. We’ll be discussing money issues, personal finance, coaching, podcasting, balancing a clinical and nonclinical job, and more. Today’s guest is the multitalented gastroenterologist Brent Lacey.  Dr. Lacey is passionate about his patients, and about helping physicians succeed with business and personal finances.  As a physician, he understands how overwhelming it can be to step out of clinical training and into a career. And he has seen firsthand the huge educational gap that exists in running a practice and managing money.  He has coached hundreds of families to eliminate debt. And he has spoken to physician groups around the country on topics related to business and personal finance. That's why he founded The Scope of Practice website, blog and podcast.   I found it enlightening to hear how Brent grew his coaching business. It seems there is an endless need for teaching professionals how to get a handle on their finances, run a better practice, and make time to devote to family. Brent is active on every big social media site: @businesscoachmd on Twitter, and @thescopeofpractice on Instagram. The easiest way to find his Facebook Group is to use this link: thescopeofpractice.com/facebookpage.

In this week's show, I explain the 5 steps I took to go from practicing family physician to hospital CMO. I start by explaining why I believe hospital leadership is an excellent career. Then, I offer some personal stories as I describe 5 steps: Be curious and open to volunteering for committees adn projects; Engage one or more mentors; Try different part-time paid positions as pilots to see what interests you while gaining new skills; Get additional education and possibly certification or a new degree; Go for it, and ask for the job. My path spanned about 20 years. But you can compress what I did into a much shorter time frame. In the end, you will find a well-compensated position that enables you to have a huge impact on the healthcare provided to your community.  And if you're like me, you'll have fun doing it.

Today’s guest is who you call when you're dealing with challenging private practice matters. Dr. Phil Boucher is a husband, a father of five, and a pediatrician in private practice in Lincoln, Nebraska.  He is very prolific, treating patients, educating parents, and helping his colleagues enjoy their clinical work. He has created an online presence for parents that includes a podcast and YouTube channel, all under the title “Raising Good Parents.” Phil graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He also completed his pediatric residency at UNMC working at the Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha. He then joined Lincoln Pediatrics Group and is now a partner. He loves practicing medicine. Yet, he cannot help but create and share solutions with physicians who are struggling with problems he’s overcome. So, he became a coach and consultant to other physicians addressing important private practice matters. And he solves a big problem that is important to physicians: time management. During our interview, he explains what he believes are two of the top ways to improve personal productivity.  He has even created a course that teaches his student physicians how to optimize these factors in their practices. It is called OnTime MD. You can find the links to all of Phil Boucher's activities and his online resources at nonclinicalphysicians.com/private-practice-matters.

Today’s guest, Dr. Jill Wener, found a new passion and pursued it while working as a hospitalist. Then it became obvious to her that her new skills could help burned-out physicians. Jill obtained her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine and completed an Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Washington Medical Center, in Seattle Washington. Today, Jill explains how she fell in love with Vedic Meditation. After beginning her daily meditation practice, the stress and burn out she was experiencing at work melted away. She discovered that she wanted to help others by teaching them about meditation, and she became a Clinician Wellness Expert. Then she started teaching meditation to others and is now doing it full time. A nationally-renowned expert in physician wellness, Dr. Wener has published several articles on KevinMD, led physician wellness programs around the country, and lectured at the national level on stress and the benefits of meditation and tapping. She has been interviewed on multiple TV and radio shows as well as multiple podcasts. In addition to her online and in-person meditation and tapping programs, Jill leads meditation retreats all over the world. And she is the co-founder and Chief Wellness Officer of the TransforMD Mastery Retreat for Women Physicians. Jill is also the host of the Conscious Anti-Racism Podcast.

Dr. Jessica Lubahn is a urologist, health writer, and consultant. She is also the founder of ONDRwear, an apparel company that sells luxe leakproof underwear. Jessica tells me that she created this company to destigmatize urinary, menstrual, and other leakage through the creation of products that are highly effective and beautiful.  Dr. Lubahn received her medical degree at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Then, she completed her surgical internship and urology residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. Here are the major steps that Jessica followed in creating her new apparel company: Identify a problem experienced by her patients. Create the prototype of a potential solution, in this case, a tangible product. Research the industry, network, and determine if creating the product is feasible. Establish the business, and engage an accountant, attorney, and other necessary professionals. For her physical product, create a design or blueprint and find a manufacturer. Create a website and social media accounts, and develop a marketing plan. Start selling the product. The process Jessica followed is quite similar to the way that Greg Hanson started his business in last week’s episode #170. If you’d like to check out the Onderwear company, go to ondrwear.com. It's a very nicely designed and presented website, and I think you can still get a 15% discount on its well-designed clothing.

Dr. Greg Hanson decided to start a business that provides the latest way to connect doctors with interesting jobs. Greg is a PGY-3 interventional radiology resident in Philadelphia. He graduated from UCLA with his BS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences before moving across the country to New York City. While in New York, Greg obtained his Master of Public Health degree in epidemiology with an advanced certificate in applied biostatistics. He obtained his medical degree from the Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire. In June 2018, he started his surgical internship, followed by his integrated interventional radiology residency. During his first year of diagnostic radiology, he began doing side jobs using his statistical and science background to earn extra money. But the process of finding those jobs was difficult. He believed there should be a better way to link physicians with side jobs and this is sparked the idea for flipMD. It’s a pretty straightforward business. Find businesses that need the expertise or advice of physicians and connect them with appropriate physicians looking for side jobs. It reminds me of what Upwork does for other freelancers. I encourage you to check it out at flip-MD.com and give it a try if you’re in the market for a part-time gig advising start-ups or other freelance work. I’ll put links to the company and other resources mentioned during our conversation at nonclinicalphysicians.com/latest-way-to-connect-doctors, along with other links that were mentioned today.

In today’s interview, we build on the discussion in Episode 168 by speaking with Dr. Paul Hercock from the United Kingdom about the Medical Device Industry. Dr. Hercock is an Emergency Medicine physician who started out working for the National Health Service. He graduated from Nottingham Medical School in 2002. After initially training as a surgeon he pivoted into a career in Emergency Medicine. He is a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and also has a law degree from Nottingham Law School. While working as a Physician, Paul became increasingly interested in medical devices. He set up and established Mantra Medical, a medical device start-up focused on improving infection control. He later made a move into a full-time position in the medical device sector to work as a medical advisor. Paul is now a self-employed medical entrepreneur, combining work on his medical device start-up with the building of Mantra Systems, a consultancy business that provides medical and regulatory support to other medical device companies. His journey from clinical practice to Industry prompted him to write a book for doctors titled Beyond The Ward: A Doctor's Guide to Careers Outside the NHS (this is an Amazon affiliate link). His book can be found in major bookstores. It should be part of your library if you’re just getting started – alongside 50 Nonclinical Careers for Physicians by Sylvie Stacy and Heidi Moawad’s Careers Beyond Clinical Medicine (also Amazon affiliate links). If you don’t own those three books, then you’re not serious about pursuing a new career that builds on your medical background. I’ll put a link to Paul’s book in the show notes at nonclinicalphysicians.com/medical-device-industry, along with other links that were mentioned today.

John recently read a book called Find Your Zone of Genius: How to Redefine Intelligence, Become an Expert on Yourself, and Make Greatness a Given, by Laura Garnett. Its principles are applicable to physicians struggling to determine if they should remain in medicine, start a nonclinical career, or do something else. Laura is a performance strategist, speaker, and author. She works with CEOs and executives to identify their unique genius and purpose and leverage them in their day-to-day work. She has consulted with organizations including Google, Pandora, LinkedIn, and 15Five. Prior to launching her own company, New York City-based Garnett Consulting, she honed her marketing, strategy, and career-refining skills at companies like Capital One, American Express, IAC, and Google. John found the book so foundational for "seeking" clinicians that he invited the author onto the podcast, and this is her interview. During the conversation, Laura explains several concepts from the book that will truly help us in our career journey: What is the Zone of Genius? How do we find our innate talents? Why is our purpose more important than our passion? Why finding support is usually preferable to obtaining advice. How your core emotional challenge usually determines your purpose. Laura has developed many tools to help us in our journey of self-discovery. You can find those tools, and purchase the book on her website LauraGarnett.com.

For this podcast episode, John describes three big communication mistakes that will impair your performance and derail your career. Here are the MISTAKES - in no particular order… Choosing the WRONG MEDIUM – usually NOT choosing face to face or telephonic communication as opposed to something else. The more important the message, the more you should be inclined to make it face-to-face. Lack of CLARITY So many messages are totally unclear, ambiguous, or incomplete. Several examples are provided during the discussion. Lack of REPETITION Have you noticed that awesome leaders often repeat themselves? Important messages must be repeated, in different venues, in different ways, in order to change or reinforce the culture, vision, and mission of an organization.  BONUS MISTAKE TO AVOID Being Reactive especially when communicating up to your boss.

This week, Dr. Jessie Benson explains why she decided to make a major career change after ten years of work as an intensivist. She found that her work was not bringing the joy and fulfillment that she needed. So, she very intentionally began developing new skills and new certifications before she fully transitioned to her new life. She helped build her house, and now studies and performs music as a cellist, sells her art, and coaches other professionals. She is also a dedicated homesteader. I think you will appreciate her story. It is very instructive and inspiring.

In this week's PNC Podcast episode, Dr. Heather Fork describes why your resume is so important and how to optimize it. Heather completed her medical degree at the University of Texas and her residency in dermatology at the University of Miami – Jackson Memorial Program. And she is a Master Certified Coach through the Coaches Training Institute. Right out of residency Heather started a dermatology practice. But the shoe didn't quite fit. Heather decided to pursue training as a coach long before it was a popular thing to do. Her clients were mostly physicians. She founded The Doctor's Crossing in 2010. And she has been helping physicians find careers that bring them more joy and fulfillment ever since. Along the way, she has become an expert in converting your CV into a resume. In addition to crafting a well-written resume, it's beneficial to find someone inside the company to send it to. It could be the recruiter themself, or a physician already working at the company. Then the physician can put in a good word, and make it more likely for your resume to be read and acted on. Finally, if you're early in your career, you may need other experiences to fill in gaps in your skills. A simple way to do that is to take courses through a community college or professional society. This will demonstrate your commitment and bolster skills that can be applied in that new job.

She knew a lot of physicians that were in the tech space and reached out to them.  We are students at heart. We are very good students, so just stay curious. - Dr. Samantha Nazareth Eventually, she was drawn to the realm of emerging technology, or health technologies that are not fully adopted yet. Examples include 3D printing, virtual reality, augmented reality, and genomics.  Balancing work in the clinical and technology worlds can be a challenge. For Dr. Nazareth, part-time clinical activities are the anchor, and dedicated time for the tech activities generally works around that.  A technology business is fast-paced, however, especially in an early-stage start-up. Think early mornings, late nights, and weekends. But it is also very exciting.

Dr. Kaci Durbin is a medical writer and board-certified obstetrician. She currently works as a regulatory writer for a contract research organization (CRO). In her spare time, Kaci also provides freelance medical writing, focusing on continuing medical education (CME) materials and needs assessments. Kaci was employed at a private practice for 5 years and then transitioned into OB hospitalist work. She obtained an MBA, believing she would move into a hospital leadership position. But her experiences with management did not support her initial assumptions about the career. Kaci explored many nonclinical careers on the way to medical writing. In addition to healthcare administration, she performed chart reviews for insurance companies, dabbled in the disability arena, and served as a medical consultant. She discovered medical writing, joined the AMWA, took a writing course, and began her part-time freelance medical writing career. Initially, she was writing a variety of materials including CME enduring materials, needs assessments, manuscripts, and presentations. Then she began working as an independent contractor for a CRO. She now works there as a full-time technical medical writer focusing on regulatory documents.

Earlier this year, I was a participant in the Leverage & Growth Virtual Summit, organized by Dr. Peter Kim from Passive Income MD. It was a unique experience with about 50 experts providing valuable mentoring and teaching over 2 weeks. I had a lot of fun participating and watching the other videos that were posted. Many of you told me you also found it very helpful. So, I wanted to get Peter on the podcast to learn about his background. Is he still practicing? Why did he create Passive Income MD? What new projects has he developed? Why is real estate investing such a good side hustle? As I have interacted with physicians seeking nonclinical careers, I found that many achieve the same fulfillment and balance by engaging in side hustles and a clinical career. You’ll remember, perhaps, that Peter Steinberg really loved his work as an expert witness, while still practicing urology. And Dave Draghinas balances his practice with his podcast and short-term real estate investing.  Ideally, we ought to be passionate about these endeavors and they should help diversify our income. Today, Peter discusses several important topics: Why we should all diversify our income streams; Why real estate investing is such a popular choice for passive income; Which real estate investing options are ideal for busy professionals; and, The Passive Real Estate Academy that he and his team have relaunched this month, and why you should enroll. Peter really knows real estate, and it is so cool that he has spent the time and energy to create a place where we can learn from his successes and failures.

In this episode of the PNC podcast, John describes nine excellent books that will help to educate you as you begin your career journey. The first two books will get you in the right frame of mind.

Then John presents four books specifically written to assist physicians in their search for a nonclinical career. The last three books are written to assist in your transition to personal-brand entrepreneurial endeavors, freelance consulting, a cash-only clinical business, or locum tenens.

He completed his General Surgery residency at Morehouse School of Medicine and a Trauma/Critical Care fellowship at the University of Miami. Nii is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Nii hosts Docs Outside the Box, an Apple Podcasts Top 100 podcast. There he highlights stories of doctors doing extraordinary things outside of medicine.  He also runs his locum tenens business, Equal Access Health, where he empowers physicians to achieve the lifestyle they deserve. Docs Outside the Box has become a very popular podcast, inspiring many physicians to pursue their dreams. It has also inspired other physicians to produce their own podcasts. Listening to his podcast was one of the reasons that I started this podcast. Nii has decided to slow down his clinical activities and focus more on his online businesses. He is passionate about helping physicians earn more in their locum tenens jobs. And he wants to expand his coaching and teaching. You really have to love what you do and be passionate about it. - Dr. Nii Darko He would also like to see more collaboration between physician podcasters.

In this episode of the Physician NonClinical Careers Podcast, Dr. Errin Weisman and John talk about coaching, telemedicine, podcasting, and Errin's soon-to-be-released course, "How to Go From Burnout to BadAss". Errin discusses how her coaching journey began. She was working in a typical medical practice and realized she couldn't do that for the next 30 years of her life. So she sought coaching for herself. And it was so helpful, she later decided to become a certified life coach to assist others. She goes on to discuss how her Doctor Me First Podcast has grown and evolved. She also describes the founding of the Physician Coaching Alliance.  Errin will be releasing her new course soon. If you're feeling burned out; if you're feeling stuck; if you're feeling disillusioned with medicine; it's an online course with weekly meetings to move you from a place of burnout to "total badassery," according to Errin.

In this episode of the Physician NonClinical Careers Podcast, I compare the Clinicians Career Cooperative with the Nonclinical Career Academy.  I know this may sound like a 30-minute promotional spot, but I don't look at it that way. I've been creating new resources for "seeking physicians" since I started my podcast three years ago, and, honestly, it gets a little confusing at times. Partly it is because I had these opportunities and went ahead and developed them, rather than waiting until the perfect moment. When you're starting a new project, you're better off focusing intently on one at a time, and that's definitely what I recommend. But there was a need and I wanted to fill it. So, I didn't really see the point in postponing the Cooperative even though it was right on the heels of the Academy. During my monologue, I describe in great detail the differences between the Cooperative and the Academy. Check out the Clinicians Career Cooperative here.

This week, I present an excerpt from a live presentation from the What to Consider Next Nonclinical Careers Virtual Conference in July. This live, interactive conference is being presented by Michelle Mudge-Riley and Physicians Helping Physicians. She has recruited many well-known experts in physician career transition to speak and mentor at the conference. And although it is a virtual online conference, it is not prerecorded. The presentations will be done live, and there are several opportunities to network with the faculty and other attendees. And there are additional expert mentors and coaches joining the networking sessions. Michelle was kind enough to invite me to talk about what I've learned from my podcast guests over the past three years. And in today's podcast episode, I share part of the content of that presentation.

In this episode of the Physician NonClinical Careers Podcast, Dr. Sylvie Stacy returns to discuss how physicians can find the nonclinical career that is right for them. Sylvie has been writing a blog called Look for Zebras for several years. The name comes from a saying common in medicine that goes, "When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses, not zebras." Sylvie says to do the exact opposite in your career, and look for the rarer, more fulfilling opportunities. Sylvie has created 2 new, must-have resources for "seeking physicians." The first is her new book 50 Nonclinical Careers for Physicians: Fulfilling, Meaningful, and Lucrative Alternatives to Direct Patient Care (affiliate link). She wrote the book to help physicians: Understand what nonclinical career options are available to them; and, Help them match their skillsets to the right opportunity. The second is her Nonclinical Careers Quiz. This personality-based assessment asks 50 questions, such as: What type of work makes you feel most rewarded? What activities do you enjoy participating in? Are you introverted or extroverted? How do you enjoy spending your free time? Are you willing to travel for your job? Is it important for you to be able to work from home? After completing it, you are provided a nonclinical career that aligns best with your choices. You can find it right on her blog and it is free to everyone. In the episode, Sylvie also answers questions common for physicians who are in transition. She offers responses to those who may feel too unqualified or inexperienced to take on a new role and to those who may feel a moral obligation to practice medicine. Don't miss this insightful conversation with one of the most knowledgeable physician career transition authors around.  You can access links to Look for Zebras and Sylvy's Quiz in the show notes at nonclinicalphysicians.com/dump-an-awful-career.

In this episode of the PNC podcast, Sarah Campbell offers her expert advice for landing freelance assignments to fledgling CME writers. NetCE is a continuing education company that has been producing online education for health care professionals for many years. Sarah as spent much of her career working there as the Director of Development. In that role, she works with planners and authors to develop the materials NetCE produces. Continuing Medical Education materials are a major component of NetCE's products. As such, it is constantly looking for new content and CME writers to produce it. The topics should be timely and widely applicable, and the writing evidence-based and well-supported by references. They should also be topics NetCE has not covered before. It helps greatly if the writer has a genuine interest and expertise in the subject matter. For example, NetCE worked quickly to develop a course on COVID-19. An established writer for NetCE worked on an expedited schedule to meet the need. In most cases, however, they can predict new course requirements and plan for them in advance. You can hear Sarah's advice for CME writers, and her overview of the medical writer's process for submitting manuscripts and getting paid, by listening to the complete interview. You can access links to NetCE and other resources, and learn how to contact Sarah and submit your first manuscript at nonclinicalphysicians.com/cme-writer.
