Science AMA series: Derek DuBois, MD. Founder of DOC (www.DOCjobs.com),
prior partner at McKinsey and Accenture, here to talk about PhD and MD
scientific careers beyond the academy and clinic, Ask Me Anything!
Abstract
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:
