Other Issues with Moonlighting
With any of these options, consider the time requirements, scheduling conflicts with DPC clinic time, pay, your existing skillset, malpractice coverage, and whether it requires Medicare participation. Malpractice coverage is required for every clinical position. Make sure you are covered both in your DPC and your moonlighting position and get separate coverage if needed. Regarding time commitments, DPC patients expect good service and part of that is doctor availability. Plan to meet or exceed those expectations, and remember your long-term plan when choosing a side gig. Any option that provides adequate income and fits your skills, interests, and schedule increases your chances of DPC success.
