Professional athletes spend their entire lives training to develop their skills and strength in mastery of their sport at the highest professional levels. Similarly, physicians train their entire lives developing a mastery of the sciences and medicine. Why don’t physicians have agents who negotiate their deals like professional athletes?
This inquiry was the genesis of Rocky Mountain Physician Agency.
After more than one decade in hospital and healthcare administration, specializing in physician contracting and compensation, Ethan Nkana recognized that his skills, training, and expertise could be put to more meaningful use negotiating physician contracts on behalf of physicians.
The extensive experience Ethan has in physician contracting is founded on a doctorate degree in law from the University of Dayton School of Law. While completing his legal training, Ethan earned his master’s of business administration, also from the University of Dayton. He earned his B.S. in Business Administration & Public Relations from Southern Adventist University.
In this episode, Ryan and Ethan explore the story of Rocky Mountain Physician Agency, why doctors need support, the ups and downs of starting anything, and much more.
