Dr. Greg Hanson decided to start a business that provides the latest way to connect doctors with interesting jobs.
Greg is a PGY-3 interventional radiology resident in Philadelphia. He graduated from UCLA with his BS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences before moving across the country to New York City. While in New York, Greg obtained his Master of Public Health degree in epidemiology with an advanced certificate in applied biostatistics.
He obtained his medical degree from the Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire. In June 2018, he started his surgical internship, followed by his integrated interventional radiology residency.
During his first year of diagnostic radiology, he began doing side jobs using his statistical and science background to earn extra money. But the process of finding those jobs was difficult. He believed there should be a better way to link physicians with side jobs and this is sparked the idea for flipMD.
It’s a pretty straightforward business. Find businesses that need the expertise or advice of physicians and connect them with appropriate physicians looking for side jobs. It reminds me of what Upwork does for other freelancers.
I encourage you to check it out at flip-MD.com and give it a try if you’re in the market for a part-time gig advising start-ups or other freelance work.
I’ll put links to the company and other resources mentioned during our conversation at nonclinicalphysicians.com/latest-way-to-connect-doctors, along with other links that were mentioned today.
