In this week’s episode, John describes why some job searches become so frustrating and unproductive. It can feel like we’re bogged down and not making any progress once we’ve decided to pursue that nonclinical position.

Part of the explanation is that we may be expecting too much. When making such a drastic move the path is often not as straightforward as we’re expecting. And we must learn a whole new set of skills.

Common frustrations result from NOT doing the following:

1. Fully committing to the process,
2. Addressing your self-limiting beliefs,
3. Devoting insufficient time to the process,
4. Narrowing our search to one specific job,
5. Obtaining new skills to demonstrate your commitment,
6. Finding and engaging a mentor or two,
7. Growing your network and finding a sponsor at each company,
8. Optimizing your LinkedIn profile, and,
9. Converting your CV to a winning resumé.

Address each of these and your job search will progress more quickly.

Eleanor Tanno, MD is a Family Physician, Speaker, and Advance Directive Consultant. She completed her medical degree at the U. of Maryland School of Medicine, and her Family Medicine Residency at the Virginia Commonwealth University.

She is a full-time primary care family physician and partner in her private practice. She started her side venture, Advance Directive MD, to help people create meaningful advance directives. She does this by providing Workshops, Webinars, Public Speaking Events, and Medical Lectures.

This interest developed after meeting many families in the ICU who had never had end-of-life conversations with their family members. And she discovered that most patients who completed advance directives were being shown how to do so by attorneys. However, attorneys and their staffs were not in the best position to explain the options from a medical perspective. So, Dr. Tanno created a business to educate the public about advance directives, and teach individual clients how to properly describe their wishes in these critical documents.

During a recent Nonclinical Mastermind meeting, one of the members posed this question: How do I create a business that allows me to provide advice to clients without creating a physician-patient relationship?

This week John attempts to answer that question by presenting 6 guests who have appeared on his podcast. Each one provides wellness and health improvement advice and coaching without establishing a physician-patient relationship.

After reviewing each of their businesses, he also provides his advice for starting such a business.

Email subscribers and podcast listeners often approach John with questions about finding a nonclinical or nontraditional clinical job. One of the most common questions is: “How do I get started?”

In this week’s podcast episode, John answers this question while including some of the decisions he made as he pursued his former career as a hospital chief medical officer.

He highlights a stepwise approach that includes:

• Acknowledge something is wrong. • Committing to addressing the problem. • Looking for a solution in your current world.  • Looking for a solution near your current world.  • Looking for a solution out there somewhere. • Then, learning about what’s possible, what’s been done before, and how did it work out?

During this week’s episode, John describes why email marketing is an important tool for almost any business and how he has changed his approach to email marketing over the past year or so.

Unlike social media platforms, you own your list and it cannot be suddenly limited or deleted.

Email marketing is less expensive than other marketing approaches, and it provides you with customers who have demonstrated their interest in your products.

An email subscriber list must be nurtured over time. Subscribers will develop trust in you as you provide inspiration, encouragement, and education on a regular basis.

One strategy for doing that involves sending shorter, more frequent emails with personal stories that entertain and educate your subscribers, with a focus on increasing click rates and sales.

Dr. Laura Kaufman is a board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in obstetrical anesthesia. She has always had an interest in patient safety and quality improvement, participating in and leading quality committees and teams.

She became frustrated when the focus on quality by those around her did not match their attention to the financial aspects of care. When her employer became part of a new organization, she decided to begin her transition from full-time practice to part-time practice and consulting while completing her master’s degree in patient safety and healthcare quality at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

During our interview, Dr. Kaufman describes the factors she considered as she navigated this career transition.
