01: Introduction to Physicians Beyond the Bedside™
Why I am producing and hosting this podcast
The podcast is being produced because of my interest in coaching, teaching, and mentoring physicians interested in transitioning to a non-clinical role.
An increasing number of physicians are seeking non-clinical roles. There are many changes in healthcare that have increased the need for physicians in non-clinical roles.
Please leave me any comments on the website.
