Gretchen has appeared on the podcast before, on Episode 163 in October 2020. She discussed why this is such an exciting side business, and how to get started. She also introduced the new Expert Witness Startup School that she had created.

Dr. Green will soon begin her sixth release of her program, which teaches doctors exactly how to design, deliver, charge for, promote, and grow an expert witness consulting business. And she has improved the training with each new release.

Gretchen is a diagnostic radiologist. She earned her medical degree at Brown University Medical School. She subsequently finished a diagnostic radiology residency at Yale University School of Medicine and a fellowship in women’s imaging at Harvard Medical School.

Gretchen started working as an expert witness in 2015 and has already worked on well over 100 cases. Doing so enabled her to switch to part-time clinical employment in 2016. Doing that provided more time for her family and financial independence.

Getting Started

Gretchen’s journey started when her attorney praised her performance when she was sued early in her career. After the lawsuit was over, Gretchen decided to offer her services as an expert witness. It stoked her enthusiasm for critical thinking, and she began working as an expert witness in 2016.

According to Gretchen, the fact that physicians have years of education, training, and clinical experience is what qualifies them as experts. Learning what attorneys need, and how to efficiently review cases, prepare documents, and bill and collect for services are the additional skills needed to get started.

Becoming the Best Expert Witness

Dr. Green developed her first course over two years ago. She is preparing to present the sixth version, with new content based on what she has learned working on well over 100 cases to date. One of her goals in the course is to make her students the best expert witness for their clients.

A course like this provides the framework to know how to communicate with lawyers, how to review cases to complete the work, and ultimately how to approach this as a business. And this is an ideal way to generate extra revenue, allowing physicians to reduce practice hours and improve flexibility and control over their lives.

Dr. Gretchen Green’s Advice on Independence and Freedom

…when you take action, when you just get started in something that’s new, there’s no telling what the tangible and intangible benefits are from it. This may be the thing that re-energizes your clinical career… and it’s when you take steps to do some different things… The benefits are really just for yours in the taking…

Summary

Expert witness consulting is an ideal side business for practicing physicians. Because the hourly income is so much higher than that of clinical practice, physicians can work fewer hours, earn more income, and free up personal time for family and other interests. Gretchen has taken her experience with over 100 clients to help you become the best expert witness consultant possible.
