#58 - Three Steps to Moving Up at Work


Listen Later

Are you interested in moving up into a physician leadership career within your organization?
Is it time for you to transition out of clinical medicine into a nonclinical leadership role? 

If you’re looking for a guide to help you move up (or out) at work, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

  • Research to help you land the right physician leadership career move
  • How you can look openly for your next opportunity, despite your current boss
  • No prior experience? No problem - with these other approaches  

Today, we're going to talk about the three steps that you need to take in order to really position yourself for an upward move into a physician leadership role within your organization,  or a lateral move into something completely different - perhaps a nonclinical leadership role.

In this episode, I give you a three step framework that you will be able to put into practice (today) to start moving yourself closer to your next physician leadership career jump. I answer where to start researching physician career change options, how you can get the word out there without causing workplace drama, and what avenues you can take to advance your knowledge and understanding of a new future role.


“You want to be prepared for opportunities when those opportunities arise. ” - Marjorie Stiegler
