The physician advisor role is one that can be a bit confusing to understand just from the title alone. Our guest today, Dr. Ron Hirsch, is going to help clarify what physicians advisors do when working in a boots-on-the-ground capacity for a hospital system versus working remotely for a third-party company that provides physician advisory services. Dr. Hirsch will be sharing details about both types of physician advisor roles, with an emphasis on the position at third-party companies, such as R1 RCM where he is Vice President of Physician Advisory Services. Ron will be sharing what the job entails, necessary qualifications, and why he is so passionate about this area.
