Making the Match: Building Professional Identity after Residency

54 minutes

Brenda Thompson is my guest on this episode of the podcast. Brenda has a background in counseling and education and is a longtime professional in the graduate medical education space. For the last year or so, Brenda has been working as a resident and fellow liaison, educating residents who are transitioning into practice about topics such as how to negotiate a physician's contract, how to prepare for the interview process, and how to form their professional identity for the community, their patients, and their colleagues.

Join the conversation to learn from Brenda about:

The role of the physician liaison

How Brenda and her colleagues teach newly minted physicians to stand out from the crowd, establish networks, create relationships, and negotiate contracts

How continuing education can educate established physicians about the business side of medicine

The need for health and well-being education for residents and fellows
