The Grass Isn't Always Greener - Leaving Medicine for Another Career

Purely virtual sounds great until insurers or laws change. Here's how I build real patient flow anyway. I love the freedom of virtual care, but I've also seen how fast rules can change. In this episode I share the simple plan I'd use to grow an online practice quickly. Lease a small room in a busy medical building, share front-desk support, and contract with at least one PPO. That opens a steady pipeline, even if the telemedicine winds shift. From there I niche down, show up in person at local offices, make it easy for them to refer, and deliver great follow-up so they trust me with their patients. The goal is to earn a reputation, then transition the right people into a clear cash or concierge offer. I talk about costs, prior auth reality, malpractice needs, and the mindset that gets you from crickets to a waitlist. ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads

I run a virtual DPC and a health coaching practice. That means my website, my social channels, and my ads have to do the heavy lifting. In this episode I share the small team that powers it. My web developer builds focused landing pages, keeps my site HIPAA and ADA compliant, and sets up quizzes and ebooks to capture emails. My social media manager turns my ideas into daily content and campaigns, and tracks what works. My marketer manages my Google Business presence and paid ads, and helps me connect with other local businesses. I also cover how we communicate in Trello, how we use Canva to keep the brand tight, how I budget retainers and projects, and why paying people fairly saves me time and grows the practice. If you want a clear picture of how to market a virtual clinic, this is the blueprint I use.   ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads

All of us needs some level of enthusiasm when taking care of patients. Especially when you run your own medical practice. This level of enthusiasm is necessary for the patient to really feel cared for and you don't have to fake it and you don't have to be somebody else. Each one of us can develop our own type of enthusiasm that the patient can feel. ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads

Maybe you have been thinking about leaving mainstream medicine behind because you think the glasses greener in another career. Well in general I think it's a good idea to understand that most professions have all of their own headaches and difficulties and that medicine itself has a lot of different opportunities within it.   ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads

Cash-Based medical care certainly is not the right option for everyone. I would estimate that 10 to 20% of the US population is the right fit for this kind of care. It's not only a unique type of care for the physician but it's also incredibly powerful for the patient who can get the right care at the right time to help them maintain their health. But it has to be presented in the right way to the right patient. ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads

The concept of a mini medical practice or micropractice is more important than ever. With Healthcare costs rapidly Rising and Physicians burning out a micropractice that's either online or in person can offer the kind of opportunities for both position and patients that's unmatched with mainstream medical care.   ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads

there are lots of software and tools and apps that I use to run my online medical practice but I thought I would review the most important ones that I use pretty much on a day-to-day basis. Some of these are to communicate with patients and the rest is for marketing.   ------ -Dr. Mo Digital Nomad Physicians Website Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  Dr. Mo Goodreads
