Let s Dispel These 5 Persistent Myths About Nonclinical Careers

In this week's episode, John revisits a discussion of the 5 persistent myths that clinicians believe when they begin to consider a career transition. Physicians have been convinced by their employers and training programs that it is very difficult to leave assembly-line, corporate-style medicine for a nonclinical career because: there are no jobs; they're not qualified; the salaries are too low; they will be abandoning patients; and, their reputations will be ruined. As a result, we continue to suppress our feelings and delay implementing the solution to these problems. In this show, John describes why these myths are wrong to enable listeners to fully embrace their pursuit of a fulfilling new nonclinical career.

This week's episode is a replay of another popular PNC podcast episode. It ran in January 2022. In it, John interviews Dr. Ronnie Shalev. She is a board-certified Emergency Medicine doctor whose high-pressure job "sucked the life out of her, leaving her weary, burned out, and unable to enjoy her family, kids, and day-to-day life."

Through passive real estate investing, she was able to quit her grueling emergency room job and move into a less-demanding role at a medical device company.
