SHOW NOTES:
This week next level entrepreneur and physician Tom Davis and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about how to keep moving forward as physicians during these treacherous times.
Highlights from the conversation:
Dr. Tom Davis
● Co-Founder of Clinicians Career Cooperative: A place to network and share experiences with other physicians in any stage of their career.
● Mentor and Creator of telemedicine practices
The Healthcare System and the Impact of COVID-19: Moving Forward
● Setbacks like being laid off, separated , or getting less hours are not accidents. They are all side effects from the toxic system in which medicine takes place. Management doesn’t care about doctors, only about ways of making money and reducing costs.
● The system is set up in a way that doctors don’t have time to think, participate, or use their creativity from anything else but their clinical tasks. Doctors are put into a sort of hamster wheel without time or space to breath or think on their own. The worst part is that no one is going to come and help out. That’s why doctors should push through and search their ways as consultants, coaches, and pursuing their practices - or at the very least, be part of a network of support.
● Unprecedented times can give unprecedented opportunities. COVID-19 has created an earthquake that knocked out the foundations of the healthcare system and how hospitals work, revealing to doctors that it may not be worth it after all.
● It’s now time to look for opportunities:
- As primary care physicians, we are deadwood. That’s actually good because most won’t jump off the faulty system unless they are forced to.
- Another opportunity is the use of technology to leverage expertise. We're looking at artificial intelligence, data sharing, rapid interconnection.
- The third opportunity comes with the old argument against universal healthcare: cost. That’s clearly out of the window. Health insurers and startups are looking for new models to pay, and that will eventually translate into legislation.
● Exercise your expertise in different ways: Mentoring, coaching, a podcast, private practice, blog, books, videos, courses. There’s a whole new generation of doctors hungry for knowledge. The educational system is now diverse and no longer belong to just big entities.
● These are times to network as well. Jump into blogs and connect with like-minded experts, share your experiences, teach others.
