Episode #156: How To Start A Side Gig Or Business As A Patient Navigator


Listen Later

Are you passionate about patient advocacy? Do you find yourself helping others navigate the healthcare system, but can't imagine charging or being a business owner? My guest, Dr. Nicole Rochester thought she would always be employed as a pediatrician but all that changed when she needed to advocate for her father during a health crisis. Fast forward to today, Dr. Rochester has her own business helping patients and their families navigate the healthcare system and get the best care possible. Dr. Rochester returns to the podcast to discuss how she conquered her fears to start her patient navigation business, Your GPS Doc, and how you can do this too even if you never dreamed of running your own company.
