Who is really working for you?

Headhunters
Headhunters are hired by hospitals, clinics, or doctors groups to fill job openings. They do not represent the physician because they are paid by the employer. Although there are thousands of job opportunites available to physicians, headhunters only try to fill their client's positions. Headhunters are salesman; they are selling a product and they do not want to reveal its disadvantages.

Partners, Hospital Administrators, Real Estate Agents
Many people are marketing only one particular opportunity and therefore cannot provide honest, objective advice. For example, have you ever noticed that ALL physician jobs are in areas with excellent or outstanding schools, despite the reality of failing school systems throughout the nation? We at doctorjimi bypass this problem with our educational specialist works who specifically investigates the school system in the region where you want to work.

Practice Management Consultants

Although practice consultants can be a valuable resource, there are a few problems that must be recognized. 1) The vast majority (99%) of their business comes from representing practices, not individual or new physicians. They may not be wiling to negotiate aggressively on your behalf. There are many conflicts for them to consider. 2) They do not know the practice from the perspecitve of the physician. Many physicians will share insight with a fellow doctor that they would not reveal to a practice consultant.

 

Why Doctor Jimi?

There is an old law adage that says anyone who represents himself has a fool for a client. Is this advice applicable to physicians? The answer is yes. Books may help, but a self-help book does not provide adequate assistance for a decision involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you needed an operation, you would not got to a doctor who had never performed surgery. Do no make a similar mistake by seeking job advice from an agency lacking experience. The best solution is to rely on a fellow physician with your best interests in mind, like Doctor Jimi.
