I’ve landed 3 different Non-Clinical careers in the last 5 years 🚪 I’m going to teach you how to do the same I have held the following positions: Clinical Liaison Utilization Reviewer Implementation Lead If you feel stuck in a job you no longer want The easiest way to switch careers paths is to change your job function within a company or change your industry For example if you want to move from a treating healthcare provider consider taking a role in a health tech company ( changing industries and job function ) this however can be very challenging You can start smaller like i did and change your job function internally at your company to gain experience Or If you do want to change your job function and industry you need to have examples in your current role of how you are already doing tasks of the role you are going for No one wants to hire an ortho expert if they don’t need to be an ortho expert for the next role if the role is for a Project Manager they want someone who has traits specific to a PM and this is what you will focus on when it comes to translating your skills not the ortho expert who oversees patients. Hope this helps!

After I transitioned away from full-time clinical practice as a #physicaltherapist, I started to get questions from friends and colleagues who were also looking to move into a non-clinical role but weren't sure how transferrable their skills were or how to market them. My primary job has been non-clinical since 2018 and these are the skills I use everyday and how I would suggest to market them for my PT (and other healthcare provider) friends looking to take the jump: 🌟 Highlight Your Communication Skills As a PT, you excel at explaining complex medical concepts to patients. Use this ability to demonstrate how you can effectively communicate technical information to diverse audiences in a business setting. 🧩 Showcase Your Problem-Solving Abilities You diagnose and treat a variety of conditions daily. Emphasize your analytical skills and how you can apply them to identify and solve business challenges, adapting to changing environments with ease. 🚀 Emphasize Your Leadership Experience Managing a team of aides and coordinating patient care has honed your leadership skills. Highlight your experience in team management and project development, illustrating your capability to lead and motivate in any setting. 📚 Leverage Your Educational Expertise Your role in patient education and mentoring junior staff is invaluable. Position yourself as a knowledgeable resource who can develop and deliver training programs, helping clients and colleagues understand complex information. 🔍 Detail Your Analytical Skills Outcome tracking and data analysis are integral to your work. Show potential employers how you can use data-driven decision-making to improve processes and outcomes in their organization. 💡Utilize Your Empathy and Interpersonal Skills Building strong patient relationships is at the core of your profession. Translate this ability to client and customer relationship management, emphasizing your focus on understanding and meeting their needs. 🗂 Demonstrate Your Organizational Skills Balancing multiple patient schedules and treatment plans has made you a master of time management and documentation.

So you're feeling stuck in the treatment room? It's something I see a lot with our clients. Here's the roadmap to be the CEO your practice needs. 1. Hire a rockstar PT to handle some of the treatment load. Train them up and let them shine. 2. Delegate the admin stuff. Billing, scheduling, documentation - it's not the best use of your time. Find someone who can take it off your plate. 3. Promote your superstar provider to clinical director. Let them handle training, quality control, and provider management. 4. Block off non-negotiable CEO time. Start small, even just an hour a week, and guard it fiercely. Gradually increase as you gain momentum. When you follow this roadmap—that's when you to work ON your business, not just IN it. But the key is to start. Take one small step towards being the CEO, then another. Over time, those baby steps will add up to a whole new role - and a whole new practice.

Looking to diversify your skillset? I would network with these employees: 1. Director of Quality - Hospitals tend to hire nurses into this type of role but not exclusively. Non-clinical role transition: clinical audit or quality management roles. 2. Research Coordinator - Clinical staff frequently contribute to research projects, especially in major hospital networks. Non-clinical role transition: research therapist or clinical specialist. 3. Business development manager - there is much more to understand about hospital business practices. Creating relationships here could be incredibly powerful. Non-clinical role transition: clinical liaison (this transitions well to sales roles in medical device companies). I hope this helps!

Clinical managers, don't pass up the Golden Ticket while waiting for the Unicorn. 🩺 You’re not moving forward fast enough, hoping to see someone better.       - This prolongs the recruitment process       - Qualified Therapists don’t stick around 🩺 You’re trying to do everything yourself      - You might be out of compliance      - Takes way too long       - Focusing on skills & missing the behavioral questions that can reveal crucial info 🩺  You’re not paying enough      -Results in high turnover      -Providers will stay until a better job becomes available…then they leave Even the best clinical teams have made these mistakes before but, the ones who are winning are really focusing on improving these areas. 

Job Title = Income Potential 💰 I can't wait until my free webinar on June 22nd! Treating yourself as the CEO in your career is something I touch on in the webinar! Let's face it! Your job title has a direct impact on your earning power. Negotiating for a job title change is a strategic career move that pays off in the future... literally! In the Neurosurgery department, I was the Sr. Patient Service Coordinator. I ASKED for the job title of "Revenue Cycle Manager" because of my accomplishments in the department. In addition to my responsibilities of managing the surgeon's schedules, I created and implemented a denial management process that recovered $500k+ of revenue in a 3 month time period that was close to timely filing. In layman's terms...it was money left on the table that was gonna go BYE BYE if someone didn't catch it. That person was me🙋🏾♀️. From that point forward... I handled anything denial management related. The denails in the department decreased SIGNIFICANTLY! I deserved the title Revenue Cycle Manager...asked and received with a pay grade increase 💯 The average annual salary in the Health Information industry is slightly higher at $70,260 ✨️ I'm committed to helping health information management/technology professionals aim for the 75th percentile range ($86k), the 90th percentile range ($107k), and HIGHER. ⬇️ Want to learn the 3 strategies I used to take my career to the next level?

When hiring a clinical/medical consultant for your business it's important to understand how we work so that you can get the most out of the consultation. 1. Fees Most physicians in this space are quite flexible with their rates. They'll have an hourly rate, a retainer rate, and set fees for each consultation project. The best way to negotiate is to guarantee them more hours of work in return for a lower hourly fee. 2. Time commitment Physicians who do this kind of work often do it part time so they are likely involved in other ongoing projects. If your consulting needs has major gaps between projects then it's likely the physician will lose interest or forget all the facts of your particular case which makes it start and stops really cumbersome. 3. Involve the team When a physician first comes on to consult they'll need to gather a lot of data. They know whom they need to interview and what questions to ask. Introduce them to the entire team and give them the free reign to set up meetings. Check in regularly to make sure they are moving in the right direction. 4. Solving problems You likely have a problem in mind that you need solving but you may not know how deep rooted that problem is. The discovery call with the physician can be great to help that medical consultant tease out all the relevant fact. Both you and they will learn a lot in the process. 5. Check in regularly Even if the consultant is off writing something for you or creating an algorithm they likely will feel rather siloed unless they have a team member that can check in with them regularly.

What are some of the most common remote Clinical Research roles? Here is a short clip from a recent interview with Alisha Moore (ASCP)CM discussing typical remote roles. This is not a complete list, but a sample of some roles to consider. If you like writing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), there is a job opportunity I hinted at in the clip as well! #clinicaltrial #clinicalresearch #careers

Burnout in healthcare isn't limited to physicians… Anyone working in the industry is susceptible to declining well-being without the proper support and practices. Principal and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sally Brooks made the shift from being a practicing physician to working for an insurance company. While the role shifted, the pressure remained. So how can professionals in healthcare protect their own well-being and that of others in similar roles? It starts with taking on leadership positions. When you take a seat at the table of decision-makers, you can help shape the environment you work in. Feeling overwhelmed with admin responsibilities? Propose hiring scribes to help you better focus on patient care. Not happy with the environment or systems at your facility? Raise the issue and brainstorm solutions. Until you get involved in designing the system you're working in, you have little power in changing the actual construction of your environment.
