Episode Highlight:

"If you're a clinician looking at getting out of clinical work, or even if you're a clinician looking to expand your career, you should be creating some kind of content. We live in the world of content creation. You should be creating something because somebody that is going to see it or somebody that you might apply to a job to work for is going to look you up. You want them to see that you're thinking about the problems."
