Robert F. Priddy has been a trusted advisor and confidant to physicians for more than 35 years.
With a distinguished career marked by leadership, innovation, and a proven track record as a high achiever, I bring extensive real-world experience in both healthcare and business. My journey spans healthcare administration, medical management, entrepreneurial ventures, and private professional services consulting across domestic and international platforms. I approach you not just as a career advisor, but as a trusted partner dedicated to transforming your true interests into a fulfilling and impactful next chapter. My goal is to move beyond typical nonclinical career transitions and deliver custom-developed outcomes tailored uniquely to you.
When you engage with me, you’re speaking with someone who inspires trust and confidence—a counselor who has truly "been there before." Early in my career, I found myself drawn to the world of physicians, spending time in doctors' lounges, observing in ERs and ORs, and even building relationships on the golf course. Physicians felt comfortable confiding in me because I listened. That ability to listen evolved into advising, recruiting, practice development, and strategic planning—all of which came naturally to me. I specialized in helping physicians build practices around their passions, not just the next patient through the door. Today, my focus remains on specialization—helping professionals like you create extraordinary careers that align with your unique goals and ambitions.
My mission is simple: to help you achieve happiness and success in a new nonclinical career. My vision is to implement your objectives through a structured, interactive, and sustainable learning process that you can replicate throughout your career. If you’re seeking support from someone with a lifetime of business expertise and a career dedicated to helping physicians find fulfillment, I’d be honored to work with you. Starting the conversation is easy, and it costs you nothing. Let’s talk, and you can decide if we’re the right fit. If you choose to move forward, I offer flexible fee structures to accommodate any budget. My goal is to guide you through a thorough and effective process, with most engagements lasting nine to 14 months. My comprehensive consulting fees are designed to be accessible, typically totaling what a family physician earns (net) in two to three weeks.
Education and Credentials:
I hold a master’s degree in management from Frostburg State University, with an emphasis in finance, and a bachelor’s degree, cum laude, in journalism from West Virginia University. As a Certified Birkman Consultant, I bring a deep understanding of individual strengths and motivations. My expertise has been recognized for four decades in Marquis Who’s Who in Health and Medicine. I’ve authored numerous articles on physician career management and transition and have lectured nationally to physician and executive audiences. My book, The Physician’s Guide to NonClinical Careers, is available on Amazon and serves as a valuable resource for those navigating career change.
If you’re ready to explore a career that’s anything but average—one that’s special, meaningful, and uniquely yours—let’s connect. Together, we’ll turn your aspirations into reality.
