Which non-clinical career would you choose next year?
Hey career pioneer! What’s happening for you next year?
I’ve been in this alternative careers game for over 10 years - I’ve seen the trends, and now I’ll share with you where I think the BIGGEST opportunities are for doctors next year if you’re in need of inspiration..
Health Consulting - you don’t need a job to get started. You just need to learn how to sell yourself - this is relevant in ANY sector including healthtech! Want an easy way to get started? See Paid Surveys below!
Sector value in 2024 - £30.5 billion. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) - 9.5%
Education (EdTech) - Sell your expertise - in ANY subject, in the form of training / a course. The nicher the better. There are plenty of platforms you can use to help you achieve this. We recently ran a Masterclass on how to run your own education business side hustle as a doctor for the Doctors in Industry Fellowship.
Sector value in 2025 - £404 billion. CAGR - 16.3%
Preventative Medicine - So many doctors are leaning towards this (e.g Lifestyle Medicine) - prevention is always better than cure. And there IS a HUGE value to this! I am a total advocate for this practice if we are to sustain our healthcare system.
Sector value by 2033 - $886.5 billion. CAGR - 8.4%
Corporate Wellness - If you position your healthcare services to the right client with deep pockets, this could be a fantastic revenue stream for you. It can also be just you offering health & nutrition coaching, which we see MANY doctors do.
Sector value by 2032 - $102.5 billion. CAGR - 5.8%
Oh, and let’s not forget Pharma. It’s definitely not going anywhere, but I didn’t include it in this list because it’s becoming incredibly competitive for doctors right now.
That’s why we coach doctors in this area through our Doctors in Industry Fellowship, and in fact, one of our Fellows secured 1 of only 2 jobs available globally in big pharma this year—and he achieved that with our support!
