Consulting services and the book
Getting Down to Business: The New Doctor's Guide
There are no resources for the new physician as he or she prepares
to leave medical school, internship, residency, or fellowship. There
is a lot of word of mouth and peer support, but until now there was
no good concise practical resource available to help someone navigate
through the process of finding a job, interviewing, moving, credentialing,
privileging, hospital appointments, licenses, contracts, insurance,
perks, benefits, and early practice issues. Now there is.
The Editor's Choice Getting
Down to Business: The New Doctor's Guide is the newest
and most targeted resource to help a new physician optimize the chances
for a satisfying career in medicine. As a doctor, you are intelligent
and resourceful. You expect to be able to work your way through this
process but why do it on your own? Would you take out a gallbladder
or cardiovert someone without guidance? Would you rather learn surgery
or amniocentesis on your own or with a book and mentor guiding you?
Then why approach the most expensive and hopefully rewarding part of
your career – your job – without guidance?
Claims-made insurance, conflict resolution, limited liability partnerships,
restrictive covenants, corporate compliance, HIPAA, asset protection
trusts, correct coding initiatives are all terms you will be familiar
with when you are done reading Getting Down to Business.
In addition, the website offers links
to a variety of useful sites including complete lists of State licensing
Boards, information on malpractice suits, management, negotiating, corporate
compliance, HIPAA, Coding, and asset protection. You'll learn
how to interpret your contract, negotiate, assess salary, benefits,
and partnership offers. What do you do if you are sued or run into a
disruptive physician? You'll learn where to go to see how your
salary offer fits in with national standards, how to distinguish between
various types of retirement plans; what a buy-in might entail, what
to do when you are ready to buy-out your position, vesting schedules
for profit sharing plans, and much more.
