Practical Physician Side Hustles: Inspiration and Tools for Every DPC Doctor’s Next Step
Manage episode 495451548 series 2827060
In this episode of the My DPC Story Podcast, Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reid, founder of DoctoringDifferently.com, joins the show to share her journey from traditional clinical practice to becoming an expert in physician side gigs. Dr. Lawrence-Reid discusses the challenges of working within the insurance-driven healthcare system, including Dr. Reid’s eye-opening “diaper chair” experience in an academic pediatric ER (see the blog accompanying this podcast at mydpcstory.com for the picture). Dr. Reid reveals her top five high-yield side gigs for physicians looking for alternatives beyond full-time clinical roles: launching an aesthetics practice, medical writing, per diem and locum tenens work, expert witness services, and veteran disability exams. She also demystifies the business and money side of working independently, touching on health insurance, retirement, malpractice, and business structures like S Corps. Dr. Reid emphasizes that these side gigs can provide financial stability and act as bridges to building a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. Listeners are encouraged to explore her resources, summer series, and Academy for more guidance. Whether you’re a current or aspiring DPC doctor, this episode is a powerful resource for diversifying your income and reclaiming physician autonomy.
