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.
