Licensed attorney Anu Murthy discusses her article, "A lawyer's guide to physician side gigs." Anu details why the pandemic caused an explosion in physician side gigs (from telehealth to passion projects) and why many doctors are seeking new income streams, driven by everything from burnout to the FIRE movement. She reveals the number one risk to a doctor's medical license: their primary employment contract. Anu explains the complex legal hurdles doctors must navigate, including contract prohibitions, conflicts of interest (like pharma consulting or expert witness work), the need for separate malpractice insurance, and intellectual property considerations. Discover the essential legal steps to protect your license before starting a side gig, and learn the shocking ways employers can claw back your extra income.
