Executive Summary:
This hands-on, intensive workshop will show physicians contemplating a career change how to locate and land lucrative non-clinical positions. The focus is on finding and landing jobs paying as much or more than clinical medicine. Each registrant will be given the opportunity to complete a Birkman Preview® which will show them the non-clinical careers that are best for them. The course will conclude with each physician drafting a customized action plan of how they will find and land their first non-clinical job.
