Top 4 Questions
John responds to these questions in today’s recording:
- What are the highest-paying nonclinical jobs? Physicians who have developed their own independent, freelance businesses and have been able to scale them make the most money. A career that allows you to monetize your abilities and enthusiasm. Another advantage of starting a business like that is that you may be able to sell when you retire.
The highest-paid position in pharma, hospitals, or CME firms, on the other hand, is something with the term “chief” in it. Chief medical officers, chief medical information officers, and chief quality officers are examples. - Are there affordable resources for those pursuing a nonclinical job? Yes, there are numerous low-cost options. John has discussed this idea in several podcast episodes. There are at least five or six wonderful books that talk about everything from the mindset to preparing and pursuing the most popular nonclinical. You can also find Facebook Groups, online courses, and mastermind groups.
- What nonclinical jobs can an anesthesiologist pursue? The majority of nonclinical positions are open to almost any physician. These jobs are available because of the need for someone with a medical degree, clinical experience and knowledge of the healthcare system. Most nontraditional jobs do not rely on experience in one particular specialty.
- What are the options for a side gig? There are numerous examples of physicians who have developed side gigs around their clinical activities. However, the process is essentially the same as beginning any other business. In simple terms, the process involves finding a product or service that you have expertise in, that excites you, and that meets a need that clients or customers are willing to pay for.
