How to Quietly Build Leadership Skills As You Serve a Nonprofit – 016

2021-03-19T20:01:09-05:00

In this episode, we discuss how volunteering to serve a nonprofit board provides leadership experience and expedites career transition. A Book Review As I’ve studied the issue of career transition, I’ve often encountered burnout as a reason to shift careers. But there is an ignored cousin to burnout: physician suicide. The physician suicide rate is double that of the general population. And it appears, at least anecdotally, that the training of medical students contributes to the likelihood of [...]

5 Reasons to Discard the Victim Mindset and Start to Lead – 013

2021-10-27T09:58:07-05:00

In this episode, we explore the victim mindset. It's easy to fall into a pattern of complaining about our circumstances. Many of our colleagues jump in and fan the flames of discontent. [This topic was first addressed in Physicians: Stop Complaining and Start Leading in July  2017 – VPE]. But when we find ourselves wallowing in victimhood, we ought to shift our perspective and make a commitment to lead instead. Dr. Serafino Garella's Community Health Clinic First – [...]

Newly Discovered Physician Authored Blogs: 23 Additions

2017-05-26T16:47:04-05:00

I have previously devoted two posts to blogs written by physicians. I continue to identify new sites as I scour the web for news and reviews to share with my readers. With these newly discovered physician authored blogs, there are 73 for you to explore. (I had 70 on my list, then realized I had forgotten to add The Productive Physician, a blogger I mentioned in my Monthly Leadership Favorites for March, Wealthy Doc and Smart Money MD). You may recall that I posted my [...]

Preparing to Be a Better Physician Leader – Part 1

2017-03-30T04:54:11-05:00

Several events this week inspired me to think about preparing to be a better physician leader. A colleague reminded me about the upcoming Spring Institute and Annual Meeting of the American Association for Physician Leadership. I had just completed registering myself. And I volunteered to act as an ambassador, assisting with introducing speakers and helping to support the meeting. Networking with colleagues and old friends will be fun. And I look forward to spending time in New York City with my wife, [...]

Why the Hospital Pharmacy Director Should Report to the Senior Physician Executive

2017-02-06T13:21:12-06:00

Each hospital CEO must determine which departments should logically report to each senior executive. Historically, the vice president for medical affairs or chief medical officer was hired to address the medical staff and its governance, continuing medical education and quality improvement. But there is another department head that should report to the senior physician executive of a hospital: the hospital pharmacy director.   Pharmacy Medication administration is one of the most important functions of a hospital. Safe, effective and [...]

Interview With Lawrence Earl, MD, of UrgentCareMentor

2017-05-30T13:04:08-05:00

Welcome to my second interview with a successful physician executive and leader. This time, I interview Lawrence Earl, MD. Larry made the transition early in his career from practicing clinician to medical director and then owner/CEO of his own urgent care company. He later sold his practice to Concentra, a large provider of urgent care and occupational medicine services that is very well-known in the urgent care arena. I know the company because when I was looking to [...]

My Fascination With Physician-Authored Blogs

2017-02-14T10:04:22-06:00

I was inspired to start writing my blog after reading several other physician-authored blogs. Some have been around for years. Others are relative newcomers, like mine. Blogs (or “web-logs”) started out as a place to write a diary or journal. Many were rather light-hearted. Some written by physicians have become very serious, with descriptions of memorable clinical encounters or important health industry news and commentary. Others have become a source of free information for newcomers to hobbies or businesses. [...]

Regrets and Nostalgia on Thanksgiving Day

2016-11-26T11:31:16-06:00

I'm making myself crazy. I'm working on Thanksgiving Day, seeing a trickle of patients (about one per hour). This is to be expected. But I am beating myself up because I am overdue for my next blog post (in my internal schedule it was due to be published a day or two ago). In actual fact, I had about 70% of a post ready to go two days ago. But I decided that it just sucked, so I [...]
