134: Transitioning to Nonclinical Roles as a Licensed Clinician

The Better Outcomes Show

Aug 15 2024 • 41 mins

Have you thought about transitioning to nonclinical roles as a clinician?

It seems like I receive more messages and emails these days about transitioning to nonclinical roles as a clinician. When I first left clinical work in 2017 to work as a management consultant, many colleagues were interested, but ultimately, they didn't want to leave clinical work entirely. Part of this is likely due to the fact that many clinicians find there way to healthcare as a sort of calling rather than a "job". The other part of this has to be related to risk tolerance. Many clinicians have traditionally seen nonclinical work as "more risky" than using their credential to work as a clinician in their given specialty. That being said, in recent years, the content about nonclinical roles has increased, and so has people's interest in this topic.

So, this week, we're kicking off a miniseries all about transitioning to nonclinical roles as a clinician. We'll cover this topic from a few different "stages" or phases: 1) early in the process, 2) nonclinical roles as an employee, 3) entrepreneurship in nonclinical areas. This week's episode starts us off with phase one. In this episode, I share an interview with an Occupational Therapist (and former student of mine) Hayley Carver to discuss her decision to transition to a nonclinical role, some of the resources she's found helpful, and coaching programs and their value in the process of transitioning to these nontraditional roles.

What we cover in this Episode:

Challenges in traditional clinical roles
The risk of burnout in clinical care
Deciding to leave the clinic in pursuit of nontraditional or nonclinical roles
Networking to find opportunities in healthcare
Coaching and consulting programs to bridge the gap between the clinic and nonclinical opportunities
Achieving Better Outcomes by leaving the clinic to make a larger impact on the healthcare industry
