The role of the physician and the changing face of health care is on the minds of the area's physicians.
  
Our end of the year survey, conducted in October 2014, revealed an optimistic climate in which over half of respondents felt their practice would remain healthy.  However, respondents indicated an increased concerns about public and political policy influences.  Some key findings of the survey:
  • Communication tools, resources and forums emerged as a higher priority
  • Public education about health and health care topics appeared as a concern or need
  • Advocacy on behalf of physicians remains the top priority

Generate consulting income by participating in IRB studies
Classifieds

Clinics can generate significant consulting income while participating in 2 IRB studies that improve your patients' outcomes

 

IRB Study Option #1:

A simple buccal swab that will identify if your patients are taking the right Medications in the right dosages based on their phenotype - including herbs & nutraceuticals. The testing is covered 100% by Medicare and many PPOs. Physicians participating in this IRB approved study will receive compensation for study documentation. A Med-Tech can be provided at no charge to facilitate testing and study requirements.

 

IRB Study Option #2:

An alternative to allergy shots. Participate in an IRB study with a revolutionary allergy cream specific to your patients' airborne allergies. Prescription is covered by most PPOs. Physicians, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners participating in the IRB study will each receive generous compensation.

 

To determine if your clinic qualifies for one or both of these studies, please email me at lisad@physicianconsultinginc.com to set up a time to speak briefly. Physicians participating in both IRB studies can generate approximately $12,000/month in consulting income. Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners participating in IRB Study #2 will generate $6000/month in consulting income.
