Jeff Kozlowski MD is a Nephrologist and Senior Partner in Private Group Practice – Bergen Hypertension & Renal Associates. He talks to Dr Kedar Sankholkar about a typical work week, how his lifestyle evolved as he became a doctor, juggling different aspects, and about investment and savings advice for trainees. Additionally he discusses how you should handle your ‘I deserve it’ mentality, how you become a desirable job candidate, what he would have done differently during his decades long career, and whether he would do all of this all over again.

Dr Kozlowski:

“Listen to the patient. The whiniest patient still has a complaint, and that complaint is real even though you may think it’s silly. Sometimes that complaint is the key to what the diagnosis is.”

[In a candidate we’re hiring we look for-] “number one obviously is training… but we are also looking for someone that is personable, who can look you in the eye and speak to you as a person… and someone that is realistic.”

“Medicine is changing, go into it for the right reasons [to help people]- knowing what your expectations are. Despite all the obstacles, it’s probably the best job on Earth.”
