How to find a sicktech advisory job

Like so many of your colleagues, you might be looking for a career transition into sickcare or a non-clinical job to supplement or replace your clinical one. But, what are the steps you need to take to get one? Do you really need an MBA? How do you get paid? Where and how do you find these gigs?

There are 3 basic steps: 1)finding the problem you want to solve, 2) preparing yourself with the knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies to help solve them and 3) building your personal brand and having a marketing plan (product, price. promotion and place) to get the job that is a good fit for both yourself and your employer.

If you are thinking about advising, consulting or assuming a medical director or officer role for a sickcare company or being on a board of directors, here are the steps to follow to decide whether it's a go or no-go:

  1. Follow the 6Rs of physician career transitioning. Go to?CMO School.
  2. Pick your E-spot i.e. an industry and segment where you want to play
  3. Build your personal brand to attract and find offers
  4. Determine whether the?product the company is making is marketable,?that there is an attractive and large enough target market, and that the company makes something that is unique and differentiated
  5. Decide whether the company has?a VAST business model?that either needs to be or has been validated
  6. Assess whether the leadership team can deliver. John Mullins, in his book?"The New Business Road Test", describes three domains: 1) Does the opportunity fit the team's business mission, personal aspirations and risk propensity, 2) does the team have the industry know-how and experience to achieve the next critical success factors, and 3) is the team well connected up, down and across the specific industry value chain?
  7. Negotiate the terms and conditions of your potential engagement.?What are the costs to you in terms of time and effort and what are the tangible and intangible benefits? Some intangible benefits are getting experience, accessing resources, building your resume, making connections to networks and mentors, restoring the joy of medicine, making you a better clinician , learning about new things and making mistakes, thus building your failure resume and your judgement for the next time.
  8. Make a go or no-go decision
  9. Once you get a job, have a plan for what to do next
  10. Since most of these jobs are time limited, wash, rinse, repeat and?ladder your portfolio, Here is how to respond when you get ghosted.

Be sure you have a short, intermediate and long term career development strategy.?Take advantage of the time value of experience. Sometime you work to learn and other times you work to earn or both.
