In this week's show, I explain the 5 steps I took to go from practicing family physician to hospital CMO.
I start by explaining why I believe hospital leadership is an excellent career. Then, I offer some personal stories as I describe 5 steps:
Be curious and open to volunteering for committees adn projects; Engage one or more mentors; Try different part-time paid positions as pilots to see what interests you while gaining new skills; Get additional education and possibly certification or a new degree; Go for it, and ask for the job.My path spanned about 20 years. But you can compress what I did into a much shorter time frame. In the end, you will find a well-compensated position that enables you to have a huge impact on the healthcare provided to your community.
And if you're like me, you'll have fun doing it.
