In a post-pandemic world, more and more physicians are looking to leave their current positions and explore new opportunities in telemedicine, utilization management, med-legal review, and industry consulting.

Whether it’s through creating online articles, designing a website, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, participating in a podcast, or going back to school, there are many ways to enhance your portfolio and set yourself apart from other applicants.

So tune in to hear insights and tips on how you can build a strong portfolio and become a sought-after physician in the job market.

With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.

At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
