Doctoring Differently in a nutshell 🌰 Locums— Negotiate Per-diem— Negotiate Aesthetics—Negotiate Consulting— Negotiate VA disability— Negotiate Expert Witness— Negotiate Medical Writing— Negotiate Nobody can do it for you, but you CAN do it.
A doctor who doesn’t negotiate is a doctor giving time and money away for free.
I now earn 3K per shift to work as a pediatric hospitalist in CA. How: - Salary transparency with other docs in my department. - Negotiating as a team rather than individually. - Willingness to walk away from the table. (Refused to pick up shifts unless our demands were met).
I’ve never met a physician who voluntarily left clinical medicine and regretted that decision.
You won’t know until you start. Just start
🌟 Meet @DrNaomiLR 🌟 Board-certified pediatrician + founder of @DocDifferently, helping doctors build flexible careers beyond the clinic.💡 From locums to launching a business, she shares real-world insights from her journey. 🔗 2025 Summit details: cvent.me/z3Bqnz
I’ve found new ways to use my medical degree every year since 2017— none of which were taught or recommended by my residency. Locums Per Diem Qbank Author Expert Witness Medical Writer Tech Consultant Aesthetics Injector Social Security Adjudicator Veteran Disability Examiner
Doctor: How do I find a new job? Me: Call a hospital and tell them you want to work there. Doctor: 😧
Doctors will never get paid what they deserve. They’ll get paid what they negotiate.
@HealthJobsOnX I wouldn’t call the clinical space crowded, in fact we are chronically overworked and understaffed. But if physicians aren’t sitting at decision-making tables, we have no power to make desperately needed changes to protect our lives and labor.
Not a single doctor should be full-time clinical for more than 5 years.
Doctors, don’t let the thought of trying something new paralyze you. You can do anything.
S2 of the @DCCheerleaders Netflix doc! These women tried to organize for contract negotiations & fair wages (>$15/hr) , but were gaslit, dismissed, intimidated, & ultimately stomped out by the all-powerful Cowboys organization. Any Doctor who has tried to organize can relate 😤
I’m coaching a Peds heme doc who just asked for $600/hr for a virtual research role and got it. JUST ASK. (More accurately, he simply stated his rate and they immediately met it).
Being trauma-bonded with your colleagues is not a good reason to stay at a bad doctor job.
Cool account. Good advice.
Cool account. Good advice.
Telling doctors they’re “not allowed” to negotiate their contracts and salaries has to be the biggest employment scam around.
If you’re looking for a sign to quit your full-time doctor job and start locums, this is it 🪧
Kaiser posting “wellness” flyers in doctor’s offices urging them to accept that their own (employer-driven) suffering is part of life.
@DocDifferently brilliant. this is a real nice tip. thank you @DocDifferently
