Synopsis

Medical school teaches you practical, in-the-field knowledge, but it doesn't teach business skills. That's where Transition 2 Practice can help. A quick and easy read, this book will teach you the essential tools for your career search and contract negotiations so you can find your dream job that allows you, and your patients, to thrive.

With Transition 2 Practice, you will learn how to factor in a position's hours, volume of patients, and setting to determine if it's the right fit. You'll also learn how to score points in an interview, how to negotiate contract details, and get the salary and benefit package you deserve so you'll be prepared to make the right decision before you sign on the dotted line.

With real-world examples and tried and true advice, Transition 2 Practice is the must-have educational guide for jobseekers in the medical field.

About the Author:

Napoleon Higgins is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist whose focus is in treating mental health disorders. He is in private practice in the Houston area. He has started and developed many businesses. His private practice has grown from 1 physician being himself and his mother as his office manager. In the short period of 9 years, he has grown from his private practice to one of the largest group practices in the 4th largest city in the United States. His company, Bay Pointe Behavioral Health Service, Inc. now employs multiple clinicians including psychiatrists, physician extenders, therapists, and supporting staff. He believes that the lack of business acumen is greatly affecting the practice and delivery of health care around the country. It is his hope that the following book will help to alleviate the gap between clinical knowledge and business knowledge that is greatly lacking in the medical field.
