Physicians pursue side gigs for a variety of reasons, such as earning extra money, adding variety to their practice, or testing the waters in a new field. Today’s returning guest, Dr. Helen Rhodes, is here to discuss a little known side gig that covers all three of these bases- being a medical director at a plasma center. Dr. Rhodes will share how she found this hidden gem of a role, what the responsibilities are, why she finds it so rewarding, and how you can pursue this position if it interests you.

In this episode we’re talking about:

• The path that led Dr. Rhodes to her first plasma center role
• Why our perception of plasma centers may differ from reality
• The (flexible!) hours, call, and work schedule for this position
• What Helen finds to be most challenging and rewarding in her work
• The training, responsibilities, and job scope for this role
• Which types of physicians are best suited for this work
• Typical reimbursement for plasma center medical directors
