From Clinical to Courtroom: What It’s Like to Work as a Law Firm Doctor
Guest post by Dr. Charles Bowers Most doctors don’t enter into the field of medicine to join a law firm. If you’re like me, then your journey likely began with a simple desire to help others and make a positive difference in society, and the medical field seemed like the best way to do so. However, there comes a certain point in your life and career that your expertise as a medical professional may provide you the opportunity to have a different positive impact on as great a number of people as one did in private practice. In my case, this opportunity was presented as the chance to be the in-house Medical (forensic) p...

How Website Developers Help You get Hired
Job-hunting in today’s downed economy is taxing and hectic. There are a number of employment resource sites you can turn to, but when making a transition from a clinical to a non-clinical role within the medical field, you often have to market yourself a bit differently from others. Creating a website for the sole purpose of marketing your employability is advantageous and can help you secure that role, while providing a platform for your employers and colleagues to get to know you. When creating a website there are two main things you will want to explore: the company that provides the website, and the product itself. ...

They are blaming the soft economy, shrinking insurance reimbursements, changing regulations, and the rising costs of malpractice insurance.

Medical students gaining experience in Quality Improvement (QI)
I find it inspiring that medical students are getting experience in Quality Improvement. QI is not a normal part of the medical school curriculum. You may learn some basics around general QI concepts, but you don't generally get to work on a QI initiative. Some medical students enrolled in dual-degree MD/MBA programs have worked on a QI project by applying business principles in a health care setting. After all, business principles related to process improvement can be applied in health care. The IHI (Institute for Healthcare Improvement) Open School project has given today's medical students the resources and framework...

Preparing Your Switch to Non-Clinical Employment with a Business Degree
As a medical professional with years of experience in the clinical sector of medicine, making the transition from clinical to non-clinical roles can be challenging. You have the passion and the medical knowledge, but more often than not hospital administrations will hire graduates with business management degrees over doctors making the career transition. After all, you may know how to perform an appendicectomy, but taking on a time-sensitive workload that requires completed reports, reviews and governing departmental mandates is something medical school never taught you. Most physicians will start to slow down their clin...

LegalZoom for legal business document services
The other day, a physician approached me and asked, "how do you recommend I file my legal paperwork to start a company?" I said, "well, you could either fill it out yourself, hire an expert, or try an online legal business document service like LegalZoom. The person decided to try LegalZoom and so far everything has been smooth sailing (but the process isn't over yet). Seems like a relatively simple concept, right? Get attorneys and other business experts to form an online company where everything can be done "virtually." Want to form an LLC? Incorporate as an S Corp or a C Corp? How about filing paperwork for a DBA? Mayb...
