An Important Tactic to Speed Up Your Progress

Today's episode is devoted to the selection and use of a professional organization while pursuing a nonclinical career.

This is the third presentation in the series on the 12 Month Roadmap to a New Career. Episodes 269 and 271 addressed other steps in the process. Early in the process of career transition, it is important to identify and join a pertinent professional society or association.

Professional Organizations

There are 2 handouts on this topic I have:

  1. A 3-page list of 70 Nonclinical and Unconventional Jobs for Physicians that you can access.
