Today we learn about three awesome nonclinical careers for those working in the hospital setting. But first, a story… Ten years into my career as a full-time family physician, I began to consider moving in another direction. For the most part, I enjoyed my practice, and my patients liked me.

2021-03-20T20:24:04-05:00

Today's episode is going to be a little different.  In part, I wish to explain my absence last week. And I want to express my thoughts about my recently deceased mother, Vicky Sorrentino Jurica. And present a tribute to her. So you won't be hearing anything today about nonclinical careers, or side gigs, or physician leadership, except maybe tangentially. And I'm still not exactly sure why I'm recording this. Other than there might be some small lessons for [...]

In this episode, I answer this question: What did we learn in the first 25 episodes of this podcast? I'll also describe where I plan to go next.

Boost Your Career Trajectory by Completing an Executive MBA with Dr. Kate Atchley – 025

2021-03-20T19:10:34-05:00

I was very interested in hearing more about physician executive MBA programs.  It's something that commonly comes up when speaking about nontraditional careers for physicians. As I talk with physicians who are early in the process of career transition, one of the bits of advice they often receive from friends and family is to “get an MBA, it will help open doors.” However, committing to an MBA is a serious decision, not to be taken lightly. Sure, there are some [...]

The Ultimate Resource to Spark Your Transformation to Physician Leader with Dian Ginsberg – 024

2021-03-20T19:04:31-05:00

I joined the American College of Physician Executives in 1994. It was one of the best resources I've ever found for fledgling physician leaders. It is now called the American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL). And it has continued to provide education and support for me and thousands of other physician leaders. I thought it would be helpful to discuss the organization. It is clearly dedicated to promoting physician leadership.  For more than 40 years, the AAPL has [...]
