What do you wish you’d known before stepping into your first attending role? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Xiong, a Harvard-trained, double-board-certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain specialist, to discuss the realities physicians often aren’t prepared for. We talk about the non-clinical side of medicine that hits fast and hard once training ends, from insurance denials and prior authorizations to referrals, networking, and practice dynamics. Don't miss this conversation that shines a light on what life really looks like beyond fellowship.
