Most of us have commutes. For some, they’re a daily reminder of the fact that there’s usually someplace else we’d rather be. But for the lucky few, the daily commute is an opportunity to relax and learn. You too can be among the enlightened ones. Cultivating a podcasting habit will help. These podcasts are specific to doctors. They are among the best for broadening your clinical and healthcare industry knowledge, as well as building financial security. Docs Outside the Box Meet Dr. Nii Darko, a trauma surgeon, entrepreneur, author, and host of the Docs Outside the Box podcast. Darko used the locums life to create a career on his terms. From there, he turned his focus outward, looking to create a meaningful life and career that benefited others around him. In his own words, he wanted a life and career that was outside of the box. He put together this podcast to showcase doctors who have accomplished just that — hoping to show up-and-comers, as well as veteran physicians, that there are other paths to take. The Hippocratic Hustle Carrie Reynolds, a pediatric gastroenterologist and serial entrepreneur, wants listeners of The Hippocratic Hustle to break free. This podcast is all about finding that magical balance of a rewarding career, lucrative side-ventures, and a meaningful life. The Hustle focuses on female doctors who have reached financial independence by getting creative with side-projects. Special personal finance episodes are co-created with dermatologist Bonnie Koo, who you might also know as Wealthy Mom MD. Financial Residency The Financial Residency podcast promises to provide the financial education you didn’t have time for in medical school. And it does a good job of it. The financial-advisor host, Ryan Inman, is married to a physician. He brings this first-hand experience to help physicians build the financial skills and habits they need to keep more of the money they make. Second Opinion Think of the Second Opinion podcast as the minimum effective dose for staying up to date on ethical debates and current events in medicine. These bite-sized, weekly, 5-minute episodes focus on medical ethics topics du jour. Recent topics have included vaccines and N-Corona virus, the effect of bias on health, and vendors pushing unnecessary lab testing. Second Opinion is hosted by Michael Wilkes, a medical professor at the University of California, Davis. Outcomes Rocket Saul Marquez hosts Outcomes Rocket, which has the two-pronged focus of improving patient outcomes and healthcare business success. The podcast pulls together a diverse collection of industry leaders and innovators to assess and solve healthcare’s most pressing problems. Recent noteworthy guests include Scott Becker, founder of Becker’s Healthcare, and Greg Matthews, founder of HealthQuant. 2 Docs Talk Kendall Britt and Amy Rogers, the M.D. hosts of 2 Docs Talk, provide periodic 15-minute episodes on a wide range of topics relevant to doctors. Recent episodes have covered everything otitis externa-related, the opioid epidemic, and the anti-vax movement. The hosts also frequently discuss the doctor-patient relationship as well as healthcare policy. #HCBiz Show Doctors who are in or who aspire to leadership positions, as well as entrepreneurial physicians, would do well to listen to the #HCBiz Show. #HCBiz takes a solutions-oriented approach to innovating in healthcare. And much like healthcare itself, the podcast tends to skew a bit technical. The co-hosts, Don Lee and Shahid Shah, rely on their backgrounds in healthcare IT and leadership to help those in the healthcare business start implementing solutions right now. Source
