You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to serve others.
Residency prepared us to be competent physicians. It didn’t prepare us, though, for the challenges we face in our career. From negotiating employment terms to managing risk, physicians face almost certain burnout.
But you can regain control and reclaim the career you imagined-you just need a strategy.
In Become the BOSS MD, surgeon and certified life coach Amy Vertrees helps you navigate the processes and pitfalls of a career in medicine. This five-part guide offers fresh perspectives and sage advice for physicians in all stages of their career. You’ll learn how to match your strengths with available options, market your practice, lobby for causes, measure performance, budget clinical resources, and protect your personal assets. A must-read for every physician, Become the BOSS MD reveals the secret to empowerment and the joy possible when you become your own advocate.
