Today I’m bringing you my first interview. It involves a colleague who is seeking an MBA. The topic was mentioned on my blog at Top 10 Reasons to Pursue a Business Degree. This interview should provide additional insights in to the issue. You may have been expecting an episode addressing mentors, but I decided that I wanted to present this conversation first. The episode about mentors will follow this one. Today’s episode is a little bit different from those [...]

2021-03-20T18:50:02-05:00

In this episode, we explore the proper way to pivot to a nonclinical career. Granted, there may be various ways to make such a change. But there is good evidence that following this process will minimize your risk while optimizing your odds of success. There are four major phases, some of which can easily overlap. I plan to use this model of the four phases to help organize future episodes of this podcast. These phases definitely follow the steps I took [...]

2021-03-17T15:02:44-05:00

I will also talk about specific issues related to pivoting to a career in [...]

How to Support Physician NonClinical Careers Podcast Launch

2021-03-16T10:06:17-05:00

I've witnessed an explosion in interest in physician nonclinical careers over the past few years. Whether because of increasing frustration and burnout, or a desire to "scale" our impact to larger groups of patients, physicians want to expand into new areas.     In order to help support this movement, I am joining a small group of physicians who are creating podcasts to help support our colleagues in this process. I Need Your Help I cannot do this [...]

Growth And Discomfort for the Vital Physician Executive

2017-08-23T04:59:28-05:00

The title of this post is intended to have two meanings. Any manager, leader, or executive generally finds that there is rarely growth without discomfort. Growth and discomfort (sometimes outright pain) are usually linked. It also indicates that this blog itself is due for some growth. When I jumped in and took my first executive position as vice president for medical affairs, it began a period of growth that I had not experienced since medical school and residency. [...]

Effective But Unorthodox Career Advice

2017-08-16T04:47:24-05:00

When considering a career pivot, mentors and advisors often include an admonition to follow your passion as a key piece of advice. After all, following one’s passion means that you will stick with it. You won’t easily be swayed from working on something you're passionate about, so you'll see it through, even when there are big challenges. To do otherwise would seem to be unorthodox career advice. Besides, numerous surveys of, and interviews with, successful business leaders and [...]
