Robert F. Priddy, Core Competencies

If we work together, we'll discuss your core competencies.

Following the Compass Points to Your NonClinical Career: The Physicians' Guide to NonClinical Careers (Physicians Guide to NonClinical Careers) 

Career change for physicians is not as simple as completing online applications or sending your resume to a few recruiters. No, physician career change is actual career change, not job change. And for physicians who have changed practices before, you'll find this process very different as well.

Nonclinical career transition is a process, not an event, and it's a process that when done well follows steps similar to your treatment of your patients. You can't treat without a diagnosis, followed by detailed treatment planning and then implementation and management to a successful outcome. It's the same process, just with different tools and objectives. I'll show and tell you how to do it successfully so you're better prepared to create a new career in which you can be both happy and successful, not just taking any job that may become available.

What you'll learn...
  1. The critical elements of self diagnosis. You'll follow a SOAP note. Now, doesn't that make sense?
  2. Treatment planning means developing your marketing and personal branding materials. It also means learning how to use your materials to present yourself as a valuable expert rather than as just another job seeker.
  3. And you'll find treatment implementation and management is focused on a single objective, to place you in the same room, literally or virtually, with the people you want to be working with... to afford you the opportunity to discuss and present your value to them as a problem solver they need and want.
The Physicians Guide to Nonclinical Careers, Following the Compass Points to Your NonClinical Career, is the third edition of my step by step guide that for more than a decade has helped physicians better define, guide and manage their successful transitions from clinical practice to happy, successful and rewarding nonclinical careers.
