How to be confident and assertive during job interviews
By Jennifer Bouley - June 1, 2017
When it comes to interviews, we’ve all had our moments when we wished we had performed better than we did. What if it didn’t have to be that way - what if we could go into every interview knowing that we performed well and really caught the attention of the employer as a potential candidate to fill the vacancy? For successful interviews, it takes tact and communication to really get the attention of the employer. Interviews are your chance to “sell” your abilities to the employer as to why you are the top candidate of choice.
How Can Recruiters Work Better With Physicians?
By Mitchel Schwindt, MD - May 31, 2017
A career in healthcare provides an incredible life full of experiences, challenges, and heartbreak, mixed with incredible satisfaction. With the rapidly shifting global economy, health professionals retain a large degree of flexibility and geographic independence. That said, it takes a unique proposition from a recruiter to pull one away from a satisfying position. I have, on a rare occasion, taken the bait and enjoyed great rewards as a result. Here is how it happened.

The Hands of Time Don't Stop for Physicians Either
By Mitchel Schwindt, MD - May 23, 2017
I would love to rewind the clock and work a bit less, skip a few more meetings, and grab an afternoon nap as often as possible. I'd like to think I would ignore the lure of a nice bonus check and take an extra vacation with the kids. Instead of moonlighting to get those student loans erased, I'd take a long, slow walk with my wife and just sit quietly watching the sunset. The hands of time wait for no one. Choose to spend those moments wisely with contemplation and great care.

Doctor means "to teach"
By Jack Isler, MD - May 16, 2017
When I think back to the original meaning of the word “doctor,” I believe we may have lost our way in the physician/patient interaction. The word “doctor” originates from a Latin word, meaning to teach. As a physician and educator, I can’t remember the last time I went to the doctor and was taught something. Prior to starting medical school, I spent 6 months in the hospital and rehab, rebuilding my body from a construction accident. This situation was very painful and debilitating, but it provided me with the patient’s perspective to illness. It is from this perspective that all physicians need to originate. By teaching, you not only strive to treat, but you strive for the best outcome.
