Your Graduation Story
I am 40 years in the medical training and practicing continuum. Gradually phasing from the daily radiology practice to more time off and freedom to pursue other avocations or side hustles. The management company which is owned by the radiology partners is implementing a more independent management group responsible for everything the doctors were not trained to do. Billing, coding, contracts with insurers, recruitment of new physicians, purchasing billing hardware and software, contracts with health institutions, merging with other groups, etc. During my contract negotiations this year the intention to branch into consulting and coaching was discussed with the group.
Interestingly the management group decided this past Friday January 31, 2020 to put me on retainer to provide the clinical insight that the nonclinical person have not experienced. Ultimately to provide folks with what they want, more time to do what they were trained to do, more income and more time off. A thorny issue which I believe we are capable.
Bottom line, a retainer of $2,000 per month contracted for one year with additional payments of $1,000 per day for an time over two 8 hour days. A minimum of $24,000/year.
It is not as much as can be generated doing the clinical day to day work, but it is satisfying and it nurtures a group of men (my former partners) I want very much to succeed. However, I intend to expand to other practices.
