Physicians need a combination of medical expertise, critical thinking, and strong communication skills. Beyond clinical knowledge, key skills include problem-solving, teamwork, adaptability, and patient care. Leadership and time management are also essential for handling busy schedules and making informed decisions.

Physician interviews often include both clinical and behavioral questions. You may be asked about your medical experience, patient care philosophy, and how you handle challenging cases. Some common questions include:

• Why did you choose this specialty?
• How do you handle difficult patient interactions?
• What are your long-term career goals?
• How do you work within a team-based healthcare setting?

A non-clinical physician role is any job that does not involve direct patient care. These roles can include medical administration, healthcare consulting, medical writing, pharmaceutical research, telemedicine, and academic teaching. Many physicians transition to non-clinical roles for career flexibility, work-life balance, or to explore leadership opportunities.

Negotiating a physician contract involves understanding key terms such as compensation, benefits, work hours, non-compete clauses, and malpracticecoverage. It's important to review the contract carefully, ask questions, and seek legal or professional advice if needed.
