Hello, and welcome to the PNC podcast. Today I'm going to run through a thought experiment: How to Become CMO in a Year! Granted, this is a pretty tall order. It’s certainly easier if the organization you’re working for is looking for a CMO, or if you’re in a large city with multiple hospitals, MCOs and large medical groups. But what do you need to do to get that chief medical officer job as soon as possible, even [...]
Hello listeners and readers. I’ve made a slight scheduling change in today’s episode. At the end of Episode 50, I promised to bring you a solo episode in which I’ll explain what recruiters and CEOs are looking for in a Chief Medical Officer. However, today I present the second installment of my 2-part series on a career as an MSL. One of the reasons behind that decision is that I’m working on a mentoring program that I want [...]
I’m so glad you’re here. Today, I present an interview with a Medical Science Liaison. But, before we get into that, can you believe that this is episode number 50 of the podcast! I must say, producing this podcast has really been a learning experience. Today’s episode is a great example. A year ago, I had no idea what a medical science liaison was. I’m amazed at how many different nonclinical careers exist. And, so many of them [...]
Today, I present an interview with an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist who’s been building his platform for eight years. But, before we get to today’s interview, I want to let you know what I've been up to. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes at the PNC podcast. Updates I’m collaborating with other physician entrepreneurs in a variety of ways that I’ll be talking about in future podcast episodes. So, I recently completed a guest post [...]

Before we get to today’s interview, I want to remind you about the new edition of my weekly newsletter. Once a week, I write about my efforts to convert my blogging and [...]
Dr. Tom Davis is a board-certified family physician who transformed himself into an author, consultant and online authority. Today's interview is one of the most compelling I've done since starting the podcast. Tom describes his transformation, and shares the lessons he's learned in the process.

Photo by Mahkeo on Unsplash Before we get to today’s interview, I want to tell you about a new project I’m working on. As I mentioned last week, I’ve just started a new edition of my weekly newsletter. Once a week, I’m going to write about my efforts [...]
Dr. Leah Houston is a board-certified Emergency Physician. She was caught up in a credentialing snafu that inspired her to start a new company to address the issue. As an entrepreneur, she intends to create a very secure physician-controlled credentialing tool using blockchain technology. While practicing medicine across the U.S., Dr. Houston recognized a common problem affecting physicians. It’s uncompensated administrative burdens related to physician credentialing that lead to administrative waste and physician burnout. This burden reduces access [...]
We’re in the middle of a rather warm summer as I recorded today's episode in July 2018. This is a time to slow down a bit and enjoy a vacation and more time with your family. It's also a time to “Look for Zebras.” More about that in a minute. And since there’s often a bit more time to catch up with things this time of year, I’d like to remind you that now is a good time [...]
