SEAK’s 6th Annual 2009 Non-Clinical Careers for Physicians Conference will be held September 12-13, 2009 in Chicago at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel & Conference Center.
The following information is from the SEAK website:
“SEAK has been working with physicians for over 30-years and have heard from hundreds of physicians who are simply no longer truly happy working in clinical medicine. [They] have specifically developed this conference for physicians who want to see the types of non-clinical opportunities that are out there, and for those that are considering changing to a non-clinical career.
Physicians who have made the transition do so in large part for their families and lifestyle. In their new positions they can spend more time with their spouse and children and can schedule vacations, trips and family time without the fear of constant interruption. They no longer have to constantly leave the dinner table disappointing their families.
In the past, one of the barriers for physicians leaving practice was the answer to the question, “How will I replace my income from practicing medicine?” The new question which is now being asked by physicians is, “How much money am I losing by not leaving and going into business?”
Physicians are highly intelligent and educated, dedicated, and hard working and are learning that they can use these assets in the business world.
This year’s program is greatly expanded and features an outstanding faculty which includes physicians from major industries who will provide attendees with critical insight into what high paying jobs are available to physicians and information on how to locate and land these positions.
There will be ample time to network with colleagues, faculty, mentors and recruiters. Over six hours of networking opportunities have been built into the program with our breakfasts, luncheons, breaks and networking reception. This year’s program features afternoon breakout sessions so that attendees can customize their learning experience to meet their particular interests regarding career transition skills and particular industries.
