110: Physician Entrepreneurship and Serving Others with Dr. Van Krishnamoorthy

“Practicing Physicians, we’ve already learned how to take so many sources of data, often conflicting and confusing, and put that together in a cohesive picture. That’s literally what we do, right? So in some ways, I think physicians are primed to be entrepreneurs.” -Van Krishnamoorthy MD 

In today’s episode, Coach Gabriella Dennery MD interviews doctor and entrepreneur Dr. Van Krishnamoorthy. They discuss his journey as a physician, and what led him into multiple startups. Dr. Krishnamoorthy was a practicing radiologist and is currently the CEO of TNT- Tactile Navigation Tools. TNT is creating tools to help those with vision impairments: FeelTNT.

At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching Physicians to achieve the best of life and medicine. 

 

Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!

 

At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.

 

The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.

 

What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?

 

DocWorking empowers physicians to get back on the path to achieving their dreams.

Take Back Your Time: Get a Virtual Assistant

Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.
