Career Spotlight: Physician Liaison - Capitalize on Your Current Relationships



The Physician Liaison position is one that I have seen a lot recently as hospitals and healthcare systems buy out private medical practices and seek to increase patient loads.  The Physician Liaison is essentially an account manager who develops and strengthens relationships with physicians within a particular healthcare or hospital system, as well as solicits referrals from medical professionals outside of their particular network.  This is a great position to transition to because in many instances you will have the opportunity to work with physicians you are currently calling on.  Here is the job description for an actual Physician Liaison position:


Description

This position is responsible for strategically planning and implementing visits to physicians, physician office staffs and other potential referral sources throughout the primary and secondary markets.
Reports on the activity level and outcomes of activities on a regular basis, focusing on increases in volumes and/or addressing issues.
Responsible for assisting in the development of the annual hospital business plan and development and implementation of the hospital marketing plan for all service lines.
Performs other duties as required.




These positions are easy to find.  Just search for the job title in your city or surrounding areas at Indeed.com or SimplyHired.com.  These online job boards pull job postings from all the major (and some minor) online job boards.
