Tod is a family physician who discovered that he could improve his autonomy and increase his income by incorporating and switching from employee to micro-corporation owner. In Episode 374 we learned that 10 years ago he discovered he could practice under a professional services agreement with the hospital system, so he incorporated and began working as a mini-corporation. We pick up the interview with Tod, who explains how he shifted from employment to working using a professional services agreement. Then, he discusses a variety of benefits that you can access under this new model. We also discuss the free and paid resources available to help physicians including his book, Doctor Incorporated: Stop the Insanity of Traditional Employment and Preserve Your Professional Autonomy, a blog, a membership program, free e-books, and consultation services. Before closing, we discuss other options for physicians seeking more fulfillment and control, including direct primary care and other cash-only practices, and compare them to the microcorporation employment-lite approach to contracting with an employer.

He then completed a Family Medicine Residency and a one-year fellowship focusing on Obstetrics at the Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia. He has practiced Family Medicine in North Central Indiana for almost 30 years, initially as an employee of the local hospital. About 10 years ago he discovered he could practice under a professional services agreement with the hospital system, so he incorporated and began working as a mini-corporation. That opened up many opportunities for him resulting in more autonomy and a higher income. He has now created several resources to help educate other physicians about incorporating and contracting with employers in this new way. These include a book called Doctor Incorporated: Stop the Insanity of Traditional Employment and Preserve Your Professional Autonomy, a blog, a membership program, free e-books, and consultation services. This week’s podcast is Part 1 of the 2-Part interview, which concludes with Episode 375 of the Physician Nonclinical Careers Podcast in one week.

This is also known as working as a remote medical director. One of the attractive parts of this job is that you are paid for being AVAILABLE for collaboration. So, you can generate income while doing other things to some extent. It’s something that I have been doing for the past 2 ½ years. I've been the medical director for a new urgent care network since 2014. Four years ago I began cutting back on my clinic hours and completely withdrew 2 years ago from direct patient care. However I still serves as remote medical director, collaborating as needed with APNs and PAs, updating policies, reviewing charts, and performing other medical director duties. In today’s presentation, I focus on providing these services through third-party companies that find opportunities for collaborating physicians, connecting them with healthcare organizations that need help. This presentation is the recording of a Q&A Session held in January of this year. You can learn about these free sessions by signing up for my emails at nonclinicalphysicians.com/dailyemail.

    Sponsored by Dr. Armin Feldman: Master the art of medical legal consulting and transform your career with expert coaching in pre-litigation, pre-trial consulting at nonclinicalphysicians.com/mlconsulting or at arminfeldman.com. =============== This week, John focuses on one of the 3 popular nonclinical careers he discussed in last week’s episode, that of hospital Chief Medical Officer (CMO). He uses the 100 Top Hospitals Award as a model for physicians to identify the expertise they should develop to fulfill the role of CMO. He describes the components of the Top 100 Hospital Award: Mortality Rate Complication Rate Healthcare Associated Infection Rate 30-Day Mortality Rate 30-Day Readmission Rate Length of Stay Spending Per Beneficiary Expense Per Discharge HCAHPS (Patient Satisfaction) Scores Adjusted Operating Profit Margin Looking at this list, in most hospitals the CMO is the professional with the training and experience most able to address the first 6 items. Knowing that, it behooves physicians planning to seek a CMO role to develop experience in hospital quality improvement and patient safety, utilization management, coding and documentation, infection prevention, and information management. During this short tutorial, John describes how physicians can efficiently develop those skills through part-time volunteer and paid roles in their hospitals using this model to direct them.
