Today's episode is Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Robert Cooper, an endocrinologist who has successfully integrated nonclinical work into his career. In Episode 391, we discussed how Robert transitioned into part-time consulting, including expert witness work and other forms of knowledge consulting.

In this episode, we continue the conversation by diving deeper into disability file reviews, medical necessity reviews, and peer-to-peer consulting. Robert explains how physicians from all specialties—especially primary care—can tap into these opportunities, optimize their earnings, and navigate the industry to avoid low-paying or unethical companies.

We also explore the challenges and benefits of balancing clinical and nonclinical work, the growing role of locum tenens for career flexibility, and how to transition smoothly into these roles. Robert shares practical strategies for physicians looking to supplement or replace their clinical income while maintaining autonomy and work-life balance.
