    Expert Witness or Medical Legal Consulting: Which Should You Pursue?

    Expert Witness or Medical Legal Consulting: Which Should You Pursue?

    In this week’s show, John describes why so many nonclinical jobs require translating or interpreting information for physicians or healthcare managers, or leaders. Common examples include medical directors for quality improvement, utilization and benefits management, clinical documentation integrity, and informatics.
    Two types of freelance businesses that involve the legal system also involve that kind of interpretation. These are jobs in the medical-legal and expert witness consulting fields.
    The two businesses generate income in excess of most clinical positions (on an hourly basis). However, they differ in a number of important ways. John explains how they differ, and where you can find training to assist you to enter either field.

    What’s New in My World and Is Coaching Worth the Expense?

    What’s New in My World and Is Coaching Worth the Expense?

    In this week’s show, John provides a short update on what’s going on with NewScript, and the
    Nonclinical Career Academy. And he spends a minute or two sharing updates on two of his
    most popular guests.
    He spends the rest of the show sharing his answer to a question offered by one of his listeners:
    Is coaching/consulting by a career expert to overcome very specific challenges worth the cost of the coaching?
    As John explains during the episode, it depends on severral factors, including the
    complexity of the problem, the specificity of the problem, and the skills and reputation of the
    coach.
    While there is sometimes no objective answer to a question like this, John describes how he
    would approach the question. And he offers advice on how to optimize your chance of getting
    the most from the relationship. He also explains why coaching and consulting appear to be
    expensive, yet offer abundant value to the coachee.

    How to Prepare to Sell Your Growing Healthcare Business

    How to Prepare to Sell Your Growing Healthcare Business

    In this week’s show, John brings back a popular guest. She appeared twice in the past to describe the founding and management of her MedSpa business.
    Recently, Dr. Lisa Jenks was approached by several private equity firms about purchasing her MedSpa. At first, she didn’t consider a sale.
    But as time went on, she thought about her future retirement, and the idea began to appeal to her. She started by talking with some of the firms to gather information and better understand her options. Later, she selected a firm to work with and began discussions in earnest.
    After agreeing on a sale price, they began working out the details of the sale. Six months later, the necessary contracts were signed and Lisa passed ownership to the new owner.
    During our conversation, Lisa explains:
    why she decided to sell her business, the factors that made the offer attractive to her, what she did to prepare for the sale, and how long she would remain as an employee and consultant for the new owner.

    Top Insider Tips on Branding and Social Media

    Top Insider Tips on Branding and Social Media

    In today's show, John presents his interview with Dr. Dana Corriel from Doctors on Social Media which he recorded a few years ago. The information she provides regarding branding and social media is as true today as it was when we recorded the session.
    These principles will be helpful in at least two ways:
    First, they apply to promote any current or future business you may be involved with as an owner or an advisor. Second, the principles also apply to promoting yourself as a candidate to a clinical practice, corporation, or nonprofit, whether as an employee or a board member.

    What Is the Best Way to Generate Income and Create Wealth?

    What Is the Best Way to Generate Income and Create Wealth?

    In this week’s show, John answers this question: what is the best way to generate income and create wealth? It’s an important question. Clinicians sometimes limit their options when addressing their dissatisfaction with the stress and burnout of working in the current healthcare system.
    The most obvious choice is to find employment in a nonclinical position that is less stressful. It’s a valid option that usually solves the burnout problem with a career that pays well and improves work-life balance.
    But an often more life-changing answer is to pause and answer this question: how can I generate income and create generational wealth as part of my transition away from day-to-day patient care?
    One of the answers John provides is to become a business owner. However, successful business ownership can be a high-stakes endeavor that takes more time than a simple career pivot and requires sizable cash investment. So, John explains how to reduce both the risk and the timetable for becoming a business owner in today’s presentation.

    Why Hospital Leadership Jobs Are Both Challenging and Rewarding

    Why Hospital Leadership Jobs Are Both Challenging and Rewarding

    In April of this year, NewScript presented its 2023 Nonclinical Career Summit. The Summit consisted of 12 LIVE lectures and Q&A over 3 evenings. The speakers were fantastic, spending 50 minutes addressing topics from preparing for career transition, to specific nontraditional careers.
    My presentation covered the topic of Hospital Leadership Jobs. Today’s podcast is an excerpt of the first 25 minutes of that presentation. It covers the following topics:
    my journey from full-time family physician to hospital CMO, why hospital leadership is a great career, which areas to start as medical director, the salary to expect and how to find salaries of others working in nonprofit hospitals, answer the question, does your specialty matter?, and, the five areas in which to develop new skills. The episode closes with an invitation to purchase access to all twelve of the lectures presented at the 2023 Nonclinical Career Summit by going to nonclinicalcareersummit.com
