Today I present another classic interview from 2020. In this show, Dr. Emily Woolcock describes why she loves being an Independent Medical Examiner.

Dr. Woolcock is an internationally recognized speaker, best-selling author, mentor, and consultant. She is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners. And she is among the country\u2019s most well-known and respected orthopedic surgeons.

In 2016 she established the IME Academy where she teaches students to perform defensible,\xa0literature-based independent medical examinations (or IMEs). Emily is passionate about helping\xa0other physicians break free from the devastating work/life balance issues she experienced early\xa0in her career.

In today\u2019s interview, you will hear why this career option is so attractive to many physicians. As an IME, you can apply your medical knowledge and experience. The income is very good. However, the stress level is low and the risk of finding yourself in a medical liability lawsuit is
negligible.
