Today's episode is about how to shift the residency interview from a "stressful requirement" to your "secret weapon" regardless of your board scores, academic accolades, or numerous research publications.

And if you're like me, you've been told some variation of: 

• "You won't make it."
• "You're not good enough."
• "Consider another career."

May be the odds literally are against you, but all you need is one, "Yes".

The era of doctorpreneurs is growing, and if medical school wasn't long enough, many doctors are also going to business school. I've heard these questions many times: 

• Is an MBA worht it?
• Do you need it as a doctor?

Dr. Mariam Molani is a pathologist who obtained both a DO and MBA and she walks us through her journey, why she decided to get an MBA, the type of MBA she recommends for doctros, and more!

We don't go to medical school to become business people and yet the success of our careers and practices are dependent on running a successful practice aka, a business. TODAY, we're walking into an audio business class. Enjoy!

The disability clause in a physician contract is one of the (many) parts of the contract that seem boring and trivial when you first start a job but it could drastically affect your life if you don't pay close enough attention. 

Physician contracts are overwhelming. Learn more from the physician's perspective. Become you're own advocate. Stand strong in what you believe in...which includes you!
