209 – Should I work for myself right out...

DR. NII DARKO
About this episode

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!

“I’ve always wanted to work for myself but the only positions available are hospital employed?!”

“The interview went great, but do I really know if the culture here fits me?”

You might have more of these questions now that you’re getting close or are starting to look for a job. Let’s face it, more doctors want complete control of their careers and being employed might be a big hurdle to that. Nick Ball, with Provider Solutions & Development (PS&D), jumps on to discuss locum tenens.

 

These are the 4 main things we discussed in this episode:

  1. Why Dr. Nii decided to do locums right after fellowship
  2. The definition of locum tenens
  3. Differences between per diem work, 1099, employment
  4. Pros & Cons of locums work

“Having the Darkos describe their journey provided a solace that no sort of debt counseling would ever bring about. Anyways, this show is consistent in the fact that it always delivers gems and enlightens listeners. I’ve shared the podcast with my classmates. Please keep up the great work!”
