In this week’s episode, Dr. Nicole Rochester returns to the podcast. It’s been 5 years since she described how she was inspired to create her health navigation consulting business. Since then she has expanded her business and is now working with healthcare organizations to provide her services. She is also teaching other physicians to create their own consulting businesses.

Dr. Nicole Rochester obtained her undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University and her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the George Washington University School of Medicine.

During today’s interview, Nicole describes why she began working as a coach and consultant for patients with complex medical problems who needed help making decisions and navigating their healthcare journey. She also explains how she began providing these services on behalf of large health systems and hospitals, which is a much more sustainable model. She also shares her ideas for other healthcare coaching and consulting businesses to use a similar strategy.

Finally, she invites physicians to contact her about learning to be a healthcare navigator by joining her group training program. All of her resources can be found at yourgpsdoc.com.

In this week’s podcast episode, John addresses this question: Even if I’m burned out and frustrated, are there ways to stay in clinical medicine while achieving balance, satisfaction, and enjoyment? During this presentation, he discusses the following 5 options for remaining in clinical practice.

Take another stab at addressing the circumstances leading to dissatisfaction by aggressively renegotiating your employment contract. Review your contract and identify the major issues causing your frustration. Develop a strategy for renegotiating those issues with your attorney. These typically involve vacation time and covering for others’ vacations, work hours, salary, restrictive covenants, and inadequate pay for collaborating with midlevel providers.

If you’re looking for a new job, consider engaging an agent to represent you in contract negotiations with a new employer, often at no cost to you.

Start a new practice or join one that does not bill insurance companies. Direct Primary Care and Concierge practices, and narrow-focused practices often enable the physicians to work on cash-only, fee-for-service, or membership models, and to create a better lifestyle and income.

Almost any of us could start or transition to a narrow focused practice. John’s colleague was a full-time general pediatrician who transitioned to caring solely for patients with attention deficit disorder. He uses standard protocols for evaluation and management, and is an expert at billing for these services. He reduced his staff and overhead and his satisfaction and income have improved.

Finally, for those who want to achieve many of the above advantages, and others, without starting a practice, working as a micro-corporation may be a great choice. Incorporating and working as an independent contractor for a large group or hospital system provides more tax benefits, flexible investment opportunities, and off-loading the expenses for rent and staffing.

Today’s episode is Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Tod Stillson. Tod is a family physician who discovered that he could improve his autonomy and increase his income by incorporating and switching from employee to micro-corporation owner. In Episode 374 we learned that 10 years ago he discovered he could practice under a professional services agreement with the hospital system, so he incorporated and began working as a mini-corporation.

We pick up the interview with Tod, who explains how he shifted from employment to working using a professional services agreement. Then, he discusses a variety of benefits that you can access under this new model.

We also discuss the free and paid resources available to help physicians including his book, Doctor Incorporated: Stop the Insanity of Traditional Employment and Preserve Your Professional Autonomy, a blog, a membership program, free e-books, and consultation services.

Before closing, we discuss other options for physicians seeking more fulfillment and control, including direct primary care and other cash-only practices, and compare them to the microcorporation employment-lite approach to contracting with an employer.

Email subscribers and podcast listeners often approach John with questions about finding a nonclinical or nontraditional clinical job. One of the most common questions is: “How do I get started?”

In this week’s podcast episode, John answers this question while including some of the decisions he made as he pursued his former career as a hospital chief medical officer.

He highlights a stepwise approach that includes:

• Acknowledge something is wrong.
• Committing to addressing the problem.
• Looking for a solution in your current world. 
• Looking for a solution near your current world. 
• Looking for a solution out there somewhere.
• Then, learning about what’s possible, what’s been done before, and how did it work out?

During this week’s episode, John describes why email marketing is an important tool for almost any business and how he has changed his approach to email marketing over the past year or so.

Unlike social media platforms, you own your list and it cannot be suddenly limited or deleted.

Email marketing is less expensive than other marketing approaches, and it provides you with customers who have demonstrated their interest in your products.

An email subscriber list must be nurtured over time. Subscribers will develop trust in you as you provide inspiration, encouragement, and education on a regular basis.

One strategy for doing that involves sending shorter, more frequent emails with personal stories that entertain and educate your subscribers, with a focus on increasing click rates and sales.

Dr. Laura Kaufman is a board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in obstetrical anesthesia. She has always had an interest in patient safety and quality improvement, participating in and leading quality committees and teams.

She became frustrated when the focus on quality by those around her did not match their attention to the financial aspects of care. When her employer became part of a new organization, she decided to begin her transition from full-time practice to part-time practice and consulting while completing her master’s degree in patient safety and healthcare quality at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

During our interview, Dr. Kaufman describes the factors she considered as she navigated this career transition.

Working remotely has become all the rage, with its potential advantages of adding flexibility and autonomy to our lives, avoiding office politics, and practical savings in fuel and automobile maintenance costs.

But there are some real downsides that can occur. Today’s guest is Frieda Wiley, Pharm. D., who worked as a chemist before pursuing her pharmacy doctorate.

Like many of you, she was attracted to the idea of working remotely. She started doing that part-time, but eventually went full-time. And she discovered that there were challenges to working remotely that caused negative mental and physical health consequences.

Those consequences led her to transition from remote clinical work to freelance medical writing. Then she leveraged her writing skills and her experiences to write a book called: Telecommuting Psychosis: From Surviving to Thriving While Working in Your Pajama Pants.

During the podcast, we discuss her work as a medical writer, and some of the lessons she wrote about in her new book.

This week's episode presents Part 2 of an excerpt from my course How to Secure a Career as a Medical Science Liaison.

Together, these 2 episodes provide you with a good understanding of what an MSL does and how to pursue your first job as an MSL.

The material presented over these two weeks, while dense with information, only represents about 15% of the material in the course itself. But if you’re struggling to pursue a Pharma job, this will help you better understand the most popular entry-level position in the Pharma Industry. 

By getting deep into what an MSL job is, and how to apply for your first MSL job, you’ll get a much better idea if this is a good choice for you.

Remember that the material being presented in these two episodes is only a fraction of the lectures and supporting materials found in my course How to Secure a Career as a Medical Science Liaison.

You can learn everything you need to know to apply for your first MSL position for less than $400. To learn more about the course go to nonclinicaphysicians.com/mslcourse.

Anybody who joins now will also get a 3-month pass to the Nonclinical Mastermind and two 30-minute strategy sessions with John Jurica. The Mastermind meets on a Saturday morning or a Wednesday evening each month. It is the best place to find inspiration, support, brainstorming, and accountability as you pursue a new career.

So, sign up for the Complete MSL Course, including the Mastermind experience at nonclinicalphysicians.com/mslcourse.

The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) in the pharmaceutical industry is a popular position for physicians who wish to leave clinical practice. This is true because it is possible to qualify for the job regardless of the extent of training (i.e., whether residency-trained or board certified, or not) or specialty; it does not require special certifications or degrees (beyond a medical degree); and it provides a moderate amount of flexibility to work part of the time from home. However, it often involves traveling to meet with clients up to 60% of the time.

John created a six-lesson course called How to Secure a Career as a Medical Science Liaison for the Nonclinical Career Academy. And he has taken excerpts from that course for PNC Podcast Episodes 276 and 277. By presenting the pros and cons, and an overview of the steps you can take to prepare for a job as an MSL, you will gain a much deeper understanding of the position and whether to pursue it.

He also goes into detail about common tactics used to find a nonclinical career, including converting your CV to a resumé, engaging mentors; networking effectively, creating a LinkedIn profile, and identifying professional organizations that can hasten your progress. The course can be found at: https://nonclinicalphysicians.com/mslcourse.

Dr. Tod Stillson earned his medical degree at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He then completed a Family Medicine Residency and a one-year fellowship focusing on Obstetrics at the Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia.

He has practiced Family Medicine in North Central Indiana for almost 30 years, initially as an employee of the local hospital. About 10 years ago he discovered he could practice under a professional services agreement with the hospital system, so he incorporated and began working as a mini-corporation. That opened up many opportunities for him resulting in more autonomy and a higher income.

He has now created several resources to help educate other physicians about incorporating and contracting with employers in this new way. These include a book called Doctor Incorporated: Stop the Insanity of Traditional Employment and Preserve Your Professional Autonomy, a blog, a membership program, free e-books, and consultation services.

This week’s podcast is Part 1 of the 2-Part interview, which concludes with Episode 375 of the Physician Nonclinical Careers Podcast in one week.

This is the second episode in my series on The 12 Month Roadmap to a New Career.

You can find my discussion about Month One of the Roadmap in Episode 269.

This episode addresses one of the activities started in Phase 2 (Months 2 through 4) of my Roadmap: Networking.

Networking  can be used to:

• start and grow a business, club, social group, etc.
• gain acceptance to a school
• find an expert to help learn a skill
• identify guests for a podcast, radio show, or TV show, and,
• find your first nontraditional job.

USUAL WAYS TO NETWORK

• Face-to-face at a meeting or conference,
• Online using Doximity and LinkedIn, and,
• Online as a member of a Professional Organization (e.g., American Association for Physician Leadership, the MSL Society, the American Medical Writers Association, etc.).

Many of the guests on the PNC Podcast depended on networking to identify the decision-maker who interviewed and hired them for a nonclinical position.

In this episode, John describes two of those guests and lays out how to build and nurture a network that will lead you to your first nonclinical position.

Today I’m presenting a popular podcast blast from the past from Episode 180. In it I described 8 common mistakes clinicians make when trying to pivot to a new job.

Let’s revisit the answer to this question: What are the most common mistakes that will derail your job search?

1. Tunnel vision and not keeping an open mind
2. Being intimidated by a job description
3. Preparing a CV rather than a resume
4. Using the same cover letter and resume for different jobs or different industries
5. Depending too much on online applications and not leveraging networks
6. Not learning the jargon of the field we’re pursuing
7. Not taking the interview seriously
8. Not preparing sufficiently

BONUS Mistakes to AVOID:
#1 – Failure to prepare a COMPLETE LinkedIn Profile.
#2 – After the interview but before accepting the offer, not investigating the employer with other employees, customers, and physicians to determine if it will be a good fit for you.

In this episode, John introduces his 12 Month Roadmap to a New Career. He originally developed the roadmap to apply to landing a job as a hospital Chief Medical Officer.

But the concepts apply to many other nonclinical jobs. In this first installment, John lists the four specific tactics that he recommends during the initial month of a job search, after first narrowing the search to 2 or 3 specific careers. By accomplishing these 4 tasks, the listener will be ready to proceed to the other phases of the career transition that follow.

In this week’s solo episode John explains the power found in Mastermind groups. He defines what a mastermind is. And he recounts the history of the development of the Mastermind in 1939 which is attributed to Napoleon Hill, who wrote Think and Grow Rich.

John tells of the Mastermind sessions he had as a chief medical officer (CMO) of a community-based hospital during which members of his team would take turns taking the “hot seat” in order to help overcome a challenge or solve a problem that they were facing.

John started hosting mastermind sessions with his podcast listeners and email subscribers three years ago. And he currently has two groups going which follow his 10-minute mastermind process.

Members of his masterminds have experienced great success in selecting, pursuing, and landing a nonclinical jobs.

There are several benefits to participating in a Mastermind:

• a source of encouragement and support,
• accountability,
• networking opportunities, and
• brainstorming

And they've been shown to help entrepreneurs and business leaders advance their careers and improve the performance of their organizations.

John believes that everybody should participate in a mastermind if they are looking to accelerate the progress of their success in any endeavor.

In Episode 267 he shares a link to a free worksheet that will help listeners develop their own mastermind group. And he invites listeners to join one of his if they do not wish to start one of their own.

Called a creativity guru, Robin Landa, Distinguished Professor in the Michael Graves College at Kean University, is the author of 25 nonfiction books published by esteemed publishers such as Simon & Schuster.

Berrett-Koehler will publish her new book, The New Art of Ideas: Unlock Your Creative Potential in November. Actor Holly Taylor (Manifest; The Americans) illustrated the book. In it, Robin offers a brand-new method for generating worthwhile ideas.

Robin has earned recognition for her design, writing, art, and teaching, including awards from the National Society of Arts and Letters, the National League of Pen Women, the New Jersey Author’s Award, Kean Presidential Excellence awards, and others.

Considered “one of the great teachers of our time” by the Carnegie Foundation, Robin has taught university students and industry professionals how to generate lots of worthwhile ideas.

During our interview, Robin explains why her process for developing creative ideas is useful and effective. And she walks us through the three major steps that will deliver an idea worth pursuing.

This approach can help physicians to develop new products and new business ideas for nonclinical pursuits.

Dr. Gretchen Green has been a diagnostic radiologist since 2006. She completed her medical degree at Brown University Medical School. She then completed a residency in diagnostic radiology at Yale University School of Medicine and a Women’s Imaging Fellowship at Harvard Medical School.

Gretchen began expert witness work in 2015 and has served as an expert witness in diagnostic radiology for hundreds of cases for both plaintiff and defense attorneys. This enabled her to transition to part-time clinical work in 2016 to create more time for her family and greater financial freedom. She now teaches an online course devoted to becoming an expert witness called Expert Witness Startup School.

In today's interview, she updates us on what's new in expert witness consulting work. She reminded us that as board-certified physicians with a few years of practice experience, we already meet the definition of "expert" as applied to this part-time consulting job.

And she shared 2 observations that make this side business such a compelling choice today:

1. the demand for expert witnesses is high because the pandemic caused delays and a backlog of cases, and
2. most of the work is done remotely, including depositions and testimony (which is rarely required).

Her newest course starts the week after the publication of this episode, and the enrollment period is right now through August 29, 2022, at midnight.

If you use my link - nonclinicalphysicians.com/ewcourse/ - you can register now AND receive a year of monthly Mastermind meetings ($800 value) to keep you accountable and brainstorm ideas to accelerate the growth of your business.

Today I want to revisit one of the most popular nonclinical jobs for physicians: Medical Science Liaison.

It has been quite a while since I presented a podcast on this topic.
So, I want to update you on this popular career option.

An MSL serves as an educational and feedback link between a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device company AND healthcare professionals.

This role is strictly educational and collaborative in nature. Marketing and selling by MSLs is not permitted.

MSLs leverage their scientific background to learn about their products and communicate with influencers and key opinion leaders (KOLs). They use organizational skills to connect with these stakeholders. They use communication skills to teach, advise, and inform. 

Typically, an MSL meets with these KOLs, updates them on scientific studies, reports on their conversations to the employer, and attends both remote and in-person meetings.  Depending n the size of the territory covered, travel requirements may be extensive.

This career is attractive because it does not require any special certification. It is open to physicians at all levels of training, with or without board certification. There are ample jobs and the number of positions is growing.

Once employed as an MSL, it is quite possible to make a lateral job change or advance into more senior positions.

Landing the first MSL job can be challenging. And travel away from home for multiple days can sometimes be required.

REMEMBER THAT THE FIRST JOB IS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO LAND.

That’s why one of the first courses I created in the Nonclinical Career Academy was the Medical Science Liaison Course. It provides much greater detail on the requirements and preparation for the job. And it will position you to apply for and land your first MSL job.

It normally sells for $397. 

I invite you to take a look at it at nonclinicalphysicians.com/mslcourse/. As an incentive to sign up NOW, if you use the Coupon Code HALFOFF you will be able to jump in this week and be on your way to applying for an MSL job in a few weeks, at a much-reduced cost.

George Jerjian is the author of Dare to Discover Your Purpose: Retire, Refire, Rewire. Check it out at georgejerjian.com.

George retired after being given just six months to live. Thankfully, his diagnosis was wrong. His retirement though was “hellish”.  

A former financial advisor, George is now on a mission to help retirees create a plan for their later years which is about more than money.

His book shows Baby Boomers that retirement doesn’t have to be a disappointment and gives them the tools, confidence, and a blueprint to make the most of later life.

George’s innovative program is based on his own experience and years of research. In it, he challenges people to DARE to rebel against conventional approaches to retirement and live the life they’ve always dreamed of.

A bonus for us is that his approach can also be used during your nonclinical career pivot, focusing on identifying your "ikigai."

Dr. Debra Blaine is a retired family physician who has always wanted to be a novelist. So she began writing and published her first book a few years ago using a hybrid publisher. However, she was frustrated by the costs and long publication process required using a hybrid.

She continued writing books and taught herself how to self-publish both fiction and nonfiction books. She has now written seven books and helps other authors write and self-publish their books. Her most recent book is a self-published book about self-publishing.

Today she returns to the podcast to share what she has learned with you. And to try to convince you to write and self-publish your book as a way to promote your clinical or nonclinical business.

This week, I complete my presentation explaining how to capitalize on nonprofit board membership.

There are 5 domains that cover most of those skills.

• Financial Management
• Data Management
• Business Management
• Leadership
• Talent Management

I described each of them in Episode #254.

In this episode, I explain how I used my volunteer experiences to obtain such skills beyond those developed during my medical training and clinical practice.

For each, I describe specific experiences you can acquire while volunteering for a nonprofit. These skills are developed by actively participating in the following:

• Board of Directors
• Board Committees
• Non-board Committees

And in each case, the best new skills can be obtained by serving as chair of the board, or committee.

This week we return to a leadership and management topic.

One challenge that must be faced when pursuing a nonclinical job, especially if it is a leadership or executive position, is demonstrating that you have the skills needed to be successful in that role.

So, we start with that end in mind.

Where do we get those skills, if they aren’t picked up in medical school or residency?

Several places
• Pre-medical school experiences
• Post-residency experiences
• By developing them doing clinical work – so-called transferable skills.

What are the 5 areas that I’m talking about today?

1. Financial Management Skills
2. Data Management Skills
3. Business Management Skills
4. Leadership Skills
5. Talent Management Skills

Volunteering on a nonprofit board can provide many of those experiences.

In Part 1 of this 2-part series, we begin by describing the 5 major domains of management skills that physicians often lack, with examples of each one. 

Next week in Part 2, we will learn how to gain experience and learn those skills doing nonprofit board and committee work.

Dr. Anjani Mahabashya completed her medical training in India, then emigrated to the U.S. After participating in several elective experiences, she entered the McLaren Flint Internal Medicine Residency Program in Flint, Michigan. She then began her career as a hospitalist.

Her career was suddenly interrupted as the result of a disabling injury in 2020. This jeopardized her long-term plans and she had to develop a radical new career trajectory. She obtained additional health care management training at the Yale School of Management and became certified by the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP).

During our conversation, Anjani describes how she overcame the challenges she faced, why she likes working as a hospital-based utilization management physician advisor, and the one step that made all the difference in her successful transition.

In 2014, Dr. Abeyna Bubbers-Jones was an NHS Urology Specialist Trainee working in Blackburn (in northern England). Having graduated from medicine at the age of 22 at Nottingham, she worked for several years as a surgical trainee in the NHS. But she was yearning for something more.

She moved to South Africa and worked as a trauma surgeon for nearly 2 years, revitalizing her love of medicine and realizing that a new challenge had helped her to gain the real satisfaction she needed to develop as a professional and individual.

She returned to the UK where she noticed that many doctors were experiencing similar issues she had faced. They were stressed and burned out, feeling doubtful about their careers with low self-worth, and considering leaving the profession.

That led Abeyna to create Medic Footprints with her school friend Sara Sabin. It was designed as a community and network for doctors exploring alternative careers and support.

Medic Footprints now helps doctors around the world overcome burnout and learn how to apply their passion and expertise in new ways. 

In this week's interview, Dr. Bubbers-Jones tells her story and describes the satisfaction she experiences helping her colleagues.

Today I want to provide an update on the part-time work providing remote collaboration and supervision. This is also known as working as a remote medical director. One of the attractive parts of this job is that you are paid for being AVAILABLE for collaboration. So, you can generate income while doing other things to some extent.

It’s something that I have been doing for the past 2 ½ years. I've been the medical director for a new urgent care network since 2014. Four years ago I began cutting back on my clinic hours and completely withdrew 2 years ago from direct patient care. However I still serves as remote medical director, collaborating as needed with APNs and PAs, updating policies, reviewing charts, and performing other medical director duties.

In today’s presentation, I focus on providing these services through third-party companies that find opportunities for collaborating physicians, connecting them with healthcare organizations that need help. This presentation is the recording of a Q&A Session held in January of this year. You can learn about these free sessions by signing up for my emails at nonclinicalphysicians.com/dailyemail.
