        <p>I am Derek DuBois the founder of DOCjobs, the leading recruiting site
specifically focused on careers in industry for people with advanced
biomedical degrees. DOC started with a drinks meeting for 6 MDs from
Columbia who had left traditional tracks and has since grown to 42,000
MD and PhD members pursuing careers in industry. I have experience in
alternate and innovative careers for MDs/PhDs both through my own career
as a partner at McKinsey and Accenture and through the 1,000 employers
who have used DOC to recruit biomedical talent including investment
banks/funds, biopharma, startups, consulting firms and others across the
spectrum of healthcare. MDs and PhDs face similar challenges in
navigating to careers beyond the established academic/clinical/research
tracks, while more and more are seeking such opportunities with the rise
in physician burnout and the relative paucity of academic research
positions. Hi All – Thanks for the questions – feel free to add
additional questions on or add to current threads and I will check back
in later tonight and address as best I can. Take care. Best, DDD AMA
about applying your skills to careers in pharma/biotech, finance,
consulting, and beyond. My linkedin:
