NewScript: Background and Goal

NewScript developed from the realization that clinicians are less inclined to use social media platforms for researching nonclinical careers and issues around burnout. Those sites are often less discreet and private. Therefore, NewScript was developed as a private community.

Benefits of NewScript are:

  1. Clinicians can remain anonymous;
  2. Members can easily network with other clinicians seeking a professional transition; and,
  3. There are resources to help members in a collegial and mutually supportive environment.

And NewScript brings together Mentors who are enthusiastic about assisting, training, counseling, motivating, and inspiring members.

Today’s Talk Points

During the conversation, the cofounders of NewScript discussed: 

  1. Services for large institutions to prevent and address burnout;
  2. Financialization of healthcare;
  3. Generating revenue using the Internet; and,
  4. How authenticity will lead to a following that wants your services.

Advice from Dr. John Jurica

I like to remind people that there’s a whole world of other things you can do outside of clinical, and you can do clinical in different ways.

Advice from Dr. Tom Davis

The only barrier to making change is you.

Summary

Healthcare is undergoing constant transformation. Much of that is unfavorable for clinicians.

But there is also reason to be optimistic. It is getting much easier to apply our education and expertise in productive ways outside of the system.
