In this episode of the Physician NonClinical Careers
Podcast, Dr. Sylvie Stacy returns to discuss how
physicians can find the nonclinical career that is right for
them.
Sylvie has been writing a blog called Look for
Zebras for several years. The name comes from a saying common
in medicine that goes, "When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses,
not zebras."
Sylvie says to do the exact opposite in your
career, and look for the rarer, more fulfilling opportunities.
Sylvie has created 2 new, must-have resources for "seeking
physicians." The first is her new book 50 Nonclinical Careers
for Physicians: Fulfilling, Meaningful, and Lucrative
Alternatives to Direct Patient Care (affiliate link). She
wrote the book to help physicians:

After completing it, you are provided a nonclinical career that aligns best with your choices. You can find it right on her blog and it is free to everyone.

Don't miss this insightful conversation with one of the most knowledgeable physician career transition authors around.
