I’m addressing the different types of coaching and how to determine which one may be right for you. I also discuss the return on investment (ROI) for coaching and the value that many of us receive from coaching.

“Coaching done well may be the most effective intervention designed for human performance.” - Atul Gawande

“Become a coach, not a king. A coach brings out the best in others, helping them to reach down deep inside and discover their potential. A king only gives commands.” - John C. Maxwell

Show Highlights:

A coach is a thinking partner who works for you and with you to help you reach your best vision for yourself.
How a coach can help you navigate the challenges and obstacles that you face in order to achieve your goals.
Why coaching is not a mentoring relationship or counseling.
How to determine the right type of coaching for you.
The benefits of individual versus group coaching.
With burnout rates in healthcare at an all-time high, executive coaching is a sound investment.

About me:

I’m an experienced physician executive with over 30 years of clinical and administrative experience in various healthcare settings. I’m passionate about coaching and mentoring physicians interested in transitioning to full time or part time non-clinical roles either within the healthcare industry or external to healthcare.

My guest, Ronnie Shalev MD, BCMAS, shares her transition and transformation from her clinical roles into her current non-clinical activities. Ronnie has created a role for herself in a company that is not a healthcare provider, but provides service to physicians and healthcare organizations. She has also created a passive stream of income in real estate. >>>CLICK HERE TO GET THE TOP 10 LEADERSHIP SKILLS NEEDED TO GO BEYOND THE BEDSIDE<<<

“For those wanting to leave medicine or a clinical role, there are opportunities out there that you haven't even thought about. The key to opening and expanding your mind is to talk to as many people that have made the transition as possible. Include people with similar backgrounds to you who are now in completely different roles. The more you talk and hear about it, the more normal it seems.”

Ronnie shares how her high pressure job as a board certified ER doctor left her feeling burned out.
Through passive real estate investing, she was able to quit her clinical job and transition to a less-demanding role at a medical device company.

Thanks for joining me. My guest today is Drew Albano, DO, MBA, FAAFP. Drew has expertise in medical staff affairs, healthcare quality, clinical operations, graduate medical education, and research. Drew will be sharing his experience of transitioning to healthcare administration. He and I discuss why he was motivated to pursue an MBA (Master of Business Administration) and the interesting opportunity he had to explore a business startup during his MBA capstone project.

On the administrative or on the business side of it, the language is there, too. It's just not the language we're accustomed to because we didn't learn it going through medical training and medical school. The MBA helped me to better understand healthcare finance and the importance of soft skills.”

Show Highlights:

Drew’s diverse set of roles including administration and clinical (teaching).
The impact on communities after the merger of the health systems to form Prisma Health.

Today I’m pleased to be interviewing Dike Drummond MD. Dike shares how he transitioned from clinical medicine to his current non-clinical role as a coach and host of the Physicians on Purpose podcast. He provides a great deal of support for physicians suffering from burnout.

“Doctors are programmed to burn out by our medical education. We're set up to fail. We're set up to ignore our stress levels and our energy levels. We're set up to ignore our own self-care because of several prime directives that are installed as the programming of medical education.”

Show Highlights:

How Dike transitioned from clinical medicine to his current non-clinical role as a coach.
Why his burnout led to coaching other physicians who are suffering.
The three symptoms of burnout: exhaustion; compassion fatigue; and “what’s the use”.
How to reach out to someone you’re concerned about.
The concerning high rate of physician suicide.
How to determine if you should leave clinical medicine and choose a non-clinical career.
The importance of writing a description of your ideal practice.
How to recover from burnout.
How moral injury is a cause of burnout.
Why using a stress matrix can be a helpful tool.
Dike’s book as a resource, Stop Physician Burnout: What to Do When Working Harder Isn't Working.

About me:

I’m an experienced physician executive with over 30 years of clinical and administrative experience in various healthcare settings. I’m passionate about coaching and mentoring physicians interested in transitioning to full time or part time non-clinical roles either within the healthcare industry or external to healthcare. I have served as a COO for an emergency medicine management company, CMO for several hospitals, Vice-president of ambulatory quality for a large multispecialty medical group, Vice-president of system quality and safety for a multi-hospital system, along with numerous medical staff positions and other administrative roles.

In today’s episode, I discuss physician burnout and moral injury and how it impacts physicians’ decisions to seek careers beyond the bedside. Burnout is typically a syndrome that has been associated with severe exhaustion, cynicism, and decreased effectiveness. Factors that contribute to burnout include: prolonged working hours; the increase in bureaucratic or administrative work that is involved in taking care of patients; and failing to strike a proper balance between work and private life.

“Many physicians who suffer from burnout or moral injury seek to find another job to see if that can be a solution for their emotional distress and their physical distress as well. There are steps that physicians can take to sometimes resolve some of these situations without necessarily abandoning a position that meets their needs and that they enjoy.”

Show Highlights:

The concept of burnout and moral injury in relation to physicians.
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.
Moral injury refers to an injury to an individual’s moral conscience and values resulting from an act of perceived moral transgression, which produces profound emotional guilt and shame, and in some cases also a sense of betrayal, anger and profound “moral disorientation”.
Factors that contribute to burnout include: prolonged working hours; the increase in bureaucratic or administrative work that is involved in taking care of patients; and failing to strike a proper balance between work and private life.
How to recognize the symptoms of burnout syndrome and assess them using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the moral injury symptom scale.
How the concept of moral injury came to be understood based on the study of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Why many experts feel that moral conflict when making decisions regarding what is best for the patient (including treatment decisions and obtaining approval) may lead to the syndrome of moral injury.
The positive role of physician leadership in the workplace.
Karen Curry Parker’s research on the relationship between unresolved minor trauma and moral injury.
How it’s possible with the right coaching, counseling, and mentoring to resolve issues of burnout and moral injury by healing in place.
The importance of boundaries and the value of resilience training.

Today I am pleased to be interviewing Ines Vigil, MD, MPH, MBA, and a fellow of the American College of Preventative Medicine. Ines has expertise in population health, analytics, informatics, and clinical practice transformation. Ines has a very interesting career after completing her medical degree and general preventive medicine residency at Johns Hopkins University. Her interest in population health has a very interesting origin. Ines shares her perspective on the value of the Master’s in Public Health degree versus Master’s in Business Administration. She and I discuss her interests and passions that led her to pursuing both degrees.

“When contemplating whether or not to get an additional degree, determine what you want to get out of it and think through the problems that you really want to solve based off of your experience, your interactions, and your breadth and depth of knowledge. What are the problems you want to solve for healthcare? Then decide which degree will give you the skill set that you really need in order to be able to tackle that problem.”

Show Highlights:

Ines describes her role at Clarify Health as bringing population health value-based care solutions to the market.
Her passion for data and how two mentors inspired her to attend medical school.
How Ines’ experience working with Indian Health Service helped her to understand how social determinants impact patients.
Why she pursued a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) as well as a Master's in Public Health (MPH).
Why a Master's in Public Health (MPH) can be helpful to clinicians that are contemplating working in alternative finance models and alternative care models.
The value of the MPH degree versus the MBA.
The impact of transitioning from the fee for service model to value-based care.
Ines describes her first job out of residency as Medical Director for Johns Hopkins HealthCare.
Her role as a preventive medicine physician and the transition to an administrative career.
The book, Population Health Analytics, she co-authored with Martha L. Sylvia, PhD, MBA, RN.
Ines offers advice for physicians who are thinking about writing a book.
She shares the benefit of having mentors throughout her career and the influence they had on her career path.

In today’s episode, I’m discussing the Master’s in Public Health (MPH) degree. I provide the overview for the general curriculum of the MPH program as well as the types of programs that exist, how long the investment of your time will be to complete, and certain jobs you’d be extremely qualified for. I address the value of an MPH, some of the best schools in the country for getting an MPH from based on a combination of factors, as well as the key differences between the Master’s in business administration (MBA) and the Master’s in Public Health (MPH).

“A Master’s in Public Health really appeals to physicians because it involves an aspect of health care that many of us are interested in: how do we reduce the burden of disease in entire populations? Engaging and finding solutions for those problems is very appealing to a large subset of healthcare professionals, not just physicians.”

Show Highlights:

The Master's in Public Health (MPH) is a skills-based degree non-thesis degree that trains students to protect and improve the health of populations.
The tremendous focus on public health and job outlook for physicians.
The general curriculum of the MPH program includes a practicum or some applied practice experience which allows the student to be engaged in hands-on learning related to public health prevention for physicians.
The difference between traditional on-site learning and programs that are designed to be completed online or programs that are designed to be executive programs for working professionals, such as physicians.
How long the investment of your time will be to complete the MPH program.
Examples of jobs that you'll be especially well-qualified for after completing your MPH degree include, but aren’t limited to:
- Healthcare administrator, especially administering programs that are specifically focused on public health problems
- Epidemiologist due to the type of training and the focus of the curriculum
- Roles involving research
How to determine if pursuing the MPH program is well-suited to your career goals and your interests.
Key differences between the Master’s in business administration (MBA) and the Master’s in Public Health (MPH).
Top 11 schools in the country for getting an MPH from based on a combination of factors.

Today I’m pleased to be interviewing Marsha Caton, PhD. Marsha earned her Masters and her PhD in Molecular Genetics from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She’s built her career in the drug development industry working in pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Caton also serves as a consultant and mentor to scientists and physicians who are desirous of starting or growing their careers in the pharmaceutical industry.

“Invest some time into building your resume specifically for the purpose of getting into pharma. I cannot underscore that enough. The resume has to be tailored to suit the transferable skills that are needed by being highlighted and prominently displayed.”

Show Highlights:

How Marsha’s LinkedIn profile helped her to connect with other physicians interested in a non-clinical pharmaceutical career.
Opportunities within pharmaceutical companies that are worth exploring for physicians who are interested in finding non-clinical roles to either supplement their clinical income or to replace it.
The different types of jobs that exist within the pharmaceutical industry.
A medical monitor is involved at the clinical trial level. The physician is employed by the pharmaceutical company who looks at the clinical course for the patient, and they have some dialogue with the site physician.
A bit of interplay with the medical monitor role, but the safety physician role is more focused on the overall safety of the product. So they don't look at individual case summaries so much.
A freelance medical writer works specifically to write about or to help pharmaceutical companies or CRS develop the documentation that they need to support the application to the FDA.
A medical director is typically a physician who provides his/her medical knowledge and expertise in the day to day operations of the clinical research studies.
The value of advanced degrees, such as an MBA (Master of Business Administration) and an MPH (Master's in Public Health), to physicians who are transitioning to these types of non-clinical roles.
The importance of building a resume specifically for the purpose of getting into pharma.
How Marsha’s mentor changed the trajectory of her career.

In today’s episode, I discuss jobs and roles for physicians in the pharmaceutical industry. Many physicians are not aware of the types of roles for physicians within pharma. There are many similarities, but there are also very significant differences from clinical roles. Working in these roles appeals to many physicians. Discover if this is a non-clinical role that appeals to you.

“This (data) all suggests that opportunities within pharmaceutical companies are something that would be worth exploring for physicians who are interested in finding non-clinical roles to either supplement their clinical income or to replace it.”

Show Highlights:

Discover the opportunities that exist in the pharmaceutical industry and related industries for physicians.
The similarities between clinical jobs and jobs within the pharmaceutical industry.
The significant differences between the two roles.
Opportunities within pharmaceutical companies that are worth exploring for physicians who are interested in finding non-clinical roles to either supplement their clinical income or to replace it.
The different types of jobs that exist within the pharmaceutical industry.
A medical monitor is involved at the clinical trial level. The physician is employed by the pharmaceutical company who looks at the clinical course for the patient, and they have some dialogue with the site physician.

A medical director is typically a physician who provides his/her medical knowledge and expertise in the day to day operations of the clinical research studies.
In contrast to the medical director, the medical science liaison is a position that is externally or outwardly focused. This physician will be looking at products that already have their FDA approval or clearances, and they’re being utilized by physicians.
Another area that physicians can be helpful to pharmaceutical companies is in the area of regulatory medicine. Physicians and the regulatory medicine department will help coordinate the production and submission of applications and supporting documents to regulatory agencies.

I’m pleased to introduce to you Dr. Armin Feldman. Dr. Feldman has been a full-time medical consultant to attorneys since 2006. He also works with physicians across the United States helping them supplement or provide a replacement for their income, providing pre-litigation pre-trial consulting services to the legal industry.

“Even though it's not clinical work, you are still helping people by using your medical knowledge in a way that these people were previously not getting help for.”

Show Highlights:

Armin describes his scope of work as a medical legal consultant and how he became involved in this particular consulting niche.
Armin discusses his role in consulting with attorneys pre-trial and pre-litigation in personal injury or workmen’s compensation cases.
We discuss the need for the injured person to have an excellent medical and legal team when they are trying to receive financial payments from either insurance companies or employers.
Armin discusses his transition from a practicing psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, leading to his involvement in the treatment of brain injured patients.
This led to him opening a traumatic brain injury rehabilitation clinic in Denver, and eventually, to clinics around the country.
At the time he sold his business he realized that he was not ready for retirement and he discovered the potential of the unexplored niche in consulting, which proved successful and profitable.
His motivation to develop a training program for physicians of different clinical backgrounds to have their own successful business as a legal consultant.
We discuss the many benefits of this type of work for physicians, including working remotely, appropriate for physicians of any clinical background, and the ability to work full or part time.
Why any physician in any specialty can learn how to become a medical legal consultant.
How he runs a successful consulting business.
Why mentors and coaching programs were important in developing the business.
Stresses the importance of gathering information on running a small business and recommends some reading material for any physician that is interested in running a small business themselves. I have included the link to the book in the resources below.
The tangible results of doing work to help injured people and the gratification that comes from insuring that these persons receive appropriate care.
Armin describes his medical legal consulting coaching program for interested physicians.

In today’s episode, I’m discussing the value of an MBA (Master of Business Administration). Pursuing an advanced degree is a common goal for many physician leaders or physicians interested in assuming a leadership role. I’m focusing today on the MBA degree. I discuss the value of the MBA, the different types of curriculum and different structures of various programs, and how to determine if the MBA is right for you.

“As I looked at and talked with my physician, mentors, coaches, and several chief executive officers in hospitals, it became clear to me that the MBA would be more instantly recognizable as an advanced degree as compared to the master’s in medical management.”

Show Highlights:

Do you need an MBA to further your career?
My role as the chief medical officer for an emergency medicine management group as well as other different leadership positions. Why I considered getting a master's in public health, an MBA, and a master’s in medical management offered through the American Association for Physician Leadership.
When I was offered an opportunity to assume a leadership role within the healthcare organization, the master's in business administration was a more well-known advanced degree.
Why the MBA was the best course for me to pursue and what value it brings to a physician in his/her career role.
What the MBA is, the structure of an MBA, what you can expect from it, and the types of things that you should consider before you commit to the time, money and effort that it will require for you to complete this advanced degree. There may be another pathway that will work best for you.
Discover why the MBA is a great option for physicians who are poised to assume senior leadership positions in healthcare organizations, payer organizations or even non-provider organizations (such as the pharmaceutical industry and biotech companies).
If you are considering accepting a position and making an internal advance in your organization, the MBA is a great way for you to develop business acumen, to learn business skills, learn the language of business, and also an often overlooked aspect is that it allows you to connect with students who are in other business areas.
I describe why taking training classes in business, healthcare, accounting, or other aspects of the MBA, or even maybe taking a mini MBA through your own organization may serve you equally well.
There are many opportunities for physicians who exhibit great leadership skills and who have had significant experience in leadership opportunities. Don’t immediately assume that you have to have an MBA in order to take advantage of those opportunities.
For some roles, especially in larger organizations, if you wish to be on a track where you could assume the role of the chief medical informatics officer, chief medical officer or eventually a chief operating officer or chief executive officer, an MBA is expected.
The MBA doesn't exclusively train you to develop leadership skills, but it is a good venue for you to meet other physician leaders, to learn about various leadership skills and to hone those leadership skills.
I strongly feel that you should not invest in an MBA until you are at the point in your career where you can see a clear purpose for the skills that you will be learning. You will get more out of an MBA program if you have several years of hands-on experience (whether that is clinical experience as a physician or it's experience in healthcare in a non-physician role).
It is much more common for physicians to obtain an executive MBA. These MBA programs are designed for physicians or other executives who are already employed. Discover how the traditional executive MBA is being modified and replaced by a hybrid MBA, where you have a combination of online and onsite courses versus completing being onsite only.
As you explore getting the MBA, you will have to decide which one of these forms of an MBA is most well suited to your career at that point to your learning style and somewhat to your financial means. Do you want an MBA that focuses specifically on healthcare? There is a subset of physician only MBA programs. Discover a variety of healthcare oriented MBAs that you can choose from.
There are also MBA programs that are not limited to healthcare at all. I see people choosing these types of MBAs specifically when they are interested in entrepreneurship, for example, not necessarily limiting their options specifically to healthcare.
I share the most important aspects to look for when choosing an MBA program.
The most important courses or training that physicians need when they are taking their MBA is to learn as much as you can about change management which is a significant issue in healthcare. Learning how to manage that change within an organization is something that you should leave your MBA program with significant amount of knowledge and capability.
Choose a program that emphasizes the lean management methodology as a primary process improvement and change management strategy. I believe this method is the ultimate way to sustain change in healthcare organizations.
Discover why it’s important to choose an MBA program that teaches you how to function in a dyad leadership model with a non-clinician or with a clinician from a different background (such as nursing, physical therapy, and respiratory therapy). When we are managing operations in a hospital, we need to use this co-management as called management model.
What does it take to get accepted into an MBA program?
Discover the alternatives to an MBA, which is a significant investment in time and dollars. You may find that your needs are met by taking an individual course from the American Association for Physician Leadership, Institute for Healthcare Improvement or Harvard Medical School Leadership Development Course for Physicians and Scientists.
American Association for Physician Leadership offers different courses on healthcare, finance, law, ethics, quality, high reliability, and other topics that niche down on areas of education that physicians may need. That may be all that you need at a certain point in your career.
Evaluate your career path. See where you are and where you want to go. Determine the direction you want your career to take.
