She didn't really put a pronunciation there , but I'm going to just assume that she's saying Muna , right . Yeah , that's no , but you don't say spelled , she would have spelled M-O-O-N-A .
Yeah , if you were to say it .

¶ Medical School Scholarship Options
today is a q a day . This is what y'all say . Um so we got two questions that we want to answer to say but I do want to say one quick thing . So before the last episode , I was joking , I was telling all those people I needed to add .
So I was like y'all need to start doing push-ups , right , because we were talking about the one big , beautiful bill and how it's going to lower , you know , student loans , the amount of total amount of student loans , it's actually $150,000 . I think we said $100,000 . No , it's $100,000 . The bill is saying $100,000 .
The bill says $100,000 ? Yeah , right now .
it's $150,000 right now , oh I see I see , I see , I see , okay , right , so that possibly could get you to two and a half years of grad school , possibly right .
You need more than that to go through med school .
So I was joking before in the previous episode and I was telling y'all y'all need to do some push-ups , y'all need to do some planks , y'all need to go out and run because y'all need to get into the military and get them scholarships going right .
But think about it yo .
What if you're like in ?
oof . Yeah , they won't take you .
They'll take you . Well , who won't take you ? The military . The military won't take you , right , I don't know if they'll take you or not .
Is there a cutoff to join the military ?
I don't know .
Somebody tell us Is there a cutoff ? I don't know .
Don't chat GPT it .
No chat GPT . Listen see , the key thing is you can use Chat GPT is not as entertaining .
It's right . But that's where our life comes in , when you throw in what I do , what you do , and then you throw in some like actual facts in there . Bullshit and facts always is a lot of fun , right ? That's what I think , sprinkling a little bit , you know I love it . All right . So , real quick , the medical school scholarships . I looked it up real quick .
There's the AMA Foundation Physicians of Tomorrow Scholarship . This is about ten thousand dollars , right ? So this one is through the AMA Foundation . We'll put these in the show notes . But AMA,000 , right , you go to Tylenolcom for a scholarship . You got the National Medical Fellowships . This is anywhere from , you know , very minimal to up to 7K , maybe even plus .
This is nmfonlineorg . You got the Health Profession Scholarship Program that I was telling you all about . This is with the military . This is with the Army , the Navy , even the air force . All right , so they get your weight up on this one . The white coat investor who ? we had on like three episodes ago . He's got his own scholarship .
Um , I don't know how much he's given out , but listen , you need to go and look where you can get some money . There's um Herbert W Nickens medical student scholarship , right . That's through the AAMC , right . That's up to like $5,000 . You got the Indian Health Service Scholarship Program .
They got some programs that are based specifically just at certain institutions . Johns Hopkins has one , university of Wisconsin has one . Drexel University , boldorg . These are programs that are actually at like companies that do their stuff all through online , right , boldorg . Going Merry Scholarshipscom . There's a lot of stuff , guys .
It's a lot of stuff , sherry Arnstein , I think .
Yeah , from . The osteopathic .
Yeah , so there's there's before .
I was listening to the previous episode because you know I don't listen to episodes old episodes but this one I wanted to listen to and I was like man , I probably should have put more . I should have put more context and more nuance to the scholarships that are out there .
But those smaller scholarships , those are really hard to get , whereas , like the health profession scholarships that are with the military , the scholarships that are things that you have to exchange service for , usually those are a bit easier . The ones at your school , depending on where your school is at , they really don't have that many funds .
So that's the reason I brought that up . Do you want to add anything on that before we jump into our first ?
question .
I mean , you know , I think you know , if you are going to med school right now , look , you know , look into scholarships , not just health related scholarships , right , because that's the other thing is that we , you know , we try to sometimes create these opportunities only within that particular lane , right , but there is the , you know , if you have a scholarship
for being redheaded and left-handed , right , you should be looking up all of those scholarships , because not every single scholarship has to be very specific to the industry or the profession that you're going into . So if I were you , I would actually make looking up scholarships almost like a second job .
You know , take a day out of the week , every single week , to be able to look up scholarships and complete scholarships because , yeah , you guys are going to need them .
Well , we don't know if this bill is going to really go through , because the two billionaires , quote unquote are fighting about things right now , so we'll see Elon and Trump . I'd say listen about things right now , so we'll see Elon and Trump .
I'd say listen , don't take no chances , we'll see . Don't take no chances , we'll see . We'll see .
All right , let's
¶ Locums in Boston: Balancing Partner's Schedule
jump into our first question . This is a locums question , so you know we love locums . I think it's the panacea for everything .
No , it's not Measles . Really you should be running for you should have been appointed . You should have definitely been appointed .
Well , I have to do coke and all that stuff .
You got to do coke and be able to speak in an incoherent manner before you get appointed to any sort of department in the government .
I've learned so much from .
Well , I just want to let everybody know that measles is really not a problem in this country We'd be dissing people without actually name-dropping .
This is like a diss track you know who you are Docs Outside the Box is like a diss track from 2016 , all the way up to now . It is a subtle diss track on people . You just have to know what's the acronym . You know who you are . What's the acronym ? I-y-k-y-k . If you know , you know .
If you know , you know , people be getting dissed on this show . If you know , you know .
Shout out to Kendrick for teaching me how to diss people subtly and overtly . All right , let's do this question . Hello Dr Renee and Dr Neem . I'm a third-year family med resident looking to do locums coming out of residency . I want to thank both for being the best source of information out there .
With honest and entertaining takes on the many layers of locums and healthcare in general . You helped transition the idea of locums into a more digestible , slash , realistic option . I think for the most part that's me right . My partner has a seasonal job in Boston and the plan is to do what ? Are you looking at me like that ?
for ? No , like you like to take credit for , like stuff that you don't really need to take credit for , no , I just feel like I I don't think .
Read the question me . My partner has a seasonable .
See ChatGVT can't do this .
My partner has a seasonal job in Boston the worst place . Good luck to your partner and the plan is to do locums to match a similar timeline July to November . Oh , okay , why July to November ?
Because the partner has a seasonal job . All right guys .
So this person's partner has a seasonal job that's probably going to end sometime in November . This person is looking to do locums from July to November .
Right when they graduate to November .
There has been less jobs than advertised by the locums agencies at the start of the search of , or jobs with timelines , not willing to wait for residency to finish a what point ? Months , weeks ? Would you recommend considering a different location entirely , pursuing other options ? Have there been times or have ?
Or how have you adjusted your plans If opportunities aren't as prevalent in the area you are looking for ? A few other questions favorite websites to track payroll expenses deductions , mileage , et cetera . All right , we're going to get to that bottom part . Last , oh , they also want to know thoughts on AI scribing and if it's the future , short answer yes .
So basically , the issue for this person is they're trying to find a locums gig that'll allow them to work for a specific period of time , and it looks as though that person is trying to look for specifically in that area where their partner is . You want to start or you want me to start ?
No , you go ahead and start .
I'd like to hear what you have to say especially since you have so many wonderful things to say about Boston . Okay , the third-year family medicine resident that's writing this . So there's these things that if you look up in the sky they look like birds , right , and they're made of iron . They have engines on the side right , called planes , plane .
Plain , not plain Plain .
You know what Neat you cannot insult , I'm not insulting , I'm just saying . You cannot insult the person who's asking the question .
And then there's these horses right , they don't have tails , but they're made of metal . Right , it may say Amtrak on it . Right Goes from like Boston down to like New York , maybe even lower than that , right To DC , right , you know , ain't nobody going to write to you , no more .
And they could even cancel and they could even stop at air , at air , at airplanes , right Airports , airports Like what train goes to JFK .
I don't know .
There's trains that go to LaGuardia All right , Listen , basically what I'm saying is this Listen , I get what you're saying and I'm just joking around , but look , it could be hard to find , like a specific locums job that is going to be reasonable to the timeline that you have Right , Like depending on where you are Right .
You're just going to have to learn to be a little bit more feasible , flexible , with , you know , going someplace else for a little bit . So Renee was in Atlanta . I did not find any locums . So while this is what 10 years ago or 15 years ago , me and Renee were dating , we became serious , we got engaged , but she was in Atlanta .
I was doing locums in Idaho , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , and I looked in Atlanta , I looked in Georgia . There really wasn't anything for trauma surgery in that area . But you know , I knew that over the next several months we're going to be getting married , we're going to be living together , you know .
So I traveled and I traveled to those different places and I'd be gone for a week , I'd be gone for two weeks , but then when I came back home , I would come back and split time between my parents' house or spending time with Renee home . I would come back and split time between my parents' house or spending time with Renee .
Long story short is , sometimes you're going to have to just sacrifice , you know , for a little bit . You know sacrifice and have some short-term pain to have the long-term win which would be , you know , a consistent period of time that you're going to be with your significant other once you guys find a job or jobs that both fit you guys .
So that's why you know I'm joking around and saying that more than likely you're going to have to travel . Just be also know that when you're doing locums , when you're being an independent contractor , like you know , you kind of run the show .
So if there's places that are like hey , like you know , we can't wait , then you know you just have to wait till I finish residency , that's it .
But there are a ton of places that I know for a fact that they make plans for people graduating a year in advance , sometimes even two years in advance and depending on if you grew up in that neighborhood , if you like , for example , like we've been to , I've been to small places , small hospitals where , like you know , the local prodigy grew up Right , and if
there's no other medical schools or there aren't any medical schools there , they will make a space for that person to come back in three years . Space for somebody like that . When I was working in Idaho .
I worked locums while I was in Idaho and I was actually literally holding a space for someone who was going to be coming back to this extremely small community it was a community of like 15,000 people and so they had an OBGYN you know , who was getting ready to graduate from a residency a year later , and so I came in about 10 months before she graduated and
they held a space . So you might be able to find something like that , something similar , but I agree with you .
I think that you know if it's seasonal July to November you know , understand that that's a very short period of time and that you can travel and that doing locums between July and November right , doing locums between July and November doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be gone from July to November . It means that you can run the show .
You can say I want to work these days between July and November , right . So you could say I want to work four days a week , you know , between July and November , or I want to take call , you know , on two weekends per month in July and November , depending again on the need .
The other thing that I think people don't realize is and I don't know what your , you know what your partner's schedule is or how , you know what the logistics is , you could bring that person with you right , especially if that person has some time off .
Let's say that person has weekends off during this seasonal job that they have and you decide , okay , well , I'm going to work weekends . You could take that person with you right ? The locums company is not going to pay for them
¶ Travel Options and Locums Flexibility
, especially if you have to fly of the job . You know what ? Nii People not gonna write to you , no more . Nii , you can't be talking about people cheating on locums gigs . What you doing at your locums gigs , don't make me pop up on you .
Listen , I speak freely because I don't do any of that stuff , so I'm just saying Okay .
Listen , we gonna go live one of these days on IG . Gonna pop up on Dr D talking about oh , you got a work wife , you got a work wife .
That's what I was getting to . You got a work wife D . Some people got locums wives yeah , Locums husbands .
So bring in that person .
Oh , some people got locums husbands Ooh . Oh , snap Okay we're going to go live on IG one of these days .
Oh , one thing that I forgot to mention also is so you brought up a good point . So one thing to think about is this you know , we always tell people , particularly in the course that we have , we tell people , hey , you actually shouldn't just have one locum's job , you should have like maybe two , three , sometimes even four .
It doesn't mean that you're going to be going to all four places at the same time in the same month . No , you're just basically juggling them Right .
So particularly if , let's say , for example , you're trying to get into Boston and I'll be very honest with you , like when you're in big cities , when you're in major cities , the locums opportunities in major cities usually are limited , because a lot of people want to do that Right , want to be there Like it's like trying to do locums in Miami .
Imagine trying to do locums in Miami or locums in Los . Angeles , or locums in New York City or locums in Boston .
Chicago where there's an overabundance of medical professionals there who are willing to take less by the way in order just to live in that city . So they're willing to take a pay cut just so that they could say I live in New York City .
So , although you don't have to .
So the reason I'm saying is , you know , maybe if you want to be closer to home , you may have to negotiate , may have to take a little bit less to be in Boston for a little bit but then have another gig that is , you do like half of the other month , or in other months where you can get that money back that you're losing by working in Boston , right .
So let's say you have another job that takes , or in other months where you can get that money back that you're losing by working in Boston , right . So let's say you have another job that takes you to the Midwest .
It pays , very well , you know , you kind of incorporate that in so that you can be home , and I'll be like doing locums and then going back to your same house and seeing your significant other . That's amazing right , Especially if there's no change , if you can do it , yeah .
You don't have to have a suitcase , you can come home and have home cooking and everything . It's a great experience . But there are times where you may have to just say you know what , at this point I don't have complete leverage . Let me sweeten the pot for them and say okay , well , you know . Rather , do not take $80 an hour .
There's going to be some family medicine docs who are like what do you , you know ?
Yeah , don't do that .
Especially if you do family medicine and you do ER , yo , you could be making mad loot .
Oh , that was the other thing I was going to say right , family medicine . You have a lot of options . Okay , mad loot . You want to say it three more times Mad loot .
One Mad , loot Two Mad loot Three .
Okay , got it . So as a family medicine resident , you have a lot of options . So you can do family med , right , you could do urgent care . Yes , you can do ER . Yes , like I would take . I would look at all of those opportunities potentially . The other thing is so you live in Boston .
The question is , are there more remote parts of that area where , yeah , maybe you're a little bit further away from home , but you're not so far that you actually have to travel by plane or by train ?
You could literally just drive there , maybe an hour , two hours away , and be able to do your shift or do whatever work you're going to do for a certain amount of time and then be able to come home . You know , and you know , go back whenever it is that you're scheduled to go back .
What are you doing ? Yeah , I'm trying to reach out to Dr Love . I want to see what he does Because he's ER .
I want to see if he's going to pick up , but we recording . I know we recording how do you know he's going to pick ?
up , because I just know .
But he's not picking up .
Well , let's see if he's going to record or if he what is going on . He might be on shift .
He might be working .
I think he does night shift though .
But then he's sleeping .
D All right , dr Love . You missed out on your opportunity .
Oh , my Lord D Leave that man alone . Oh , All right , because I wanted to get his perspective With sexy voicemail .
Thank you for calling Yo people real quick . Another question for y'all People have messages on their Hold on . Hold on . He's calling Dr Love . You are on Docs Outside the Box podcast . We are absolutely recording . Please curb your voice . What's
¶ Dr. Love Joins: Expert Locums Advice
going on ? What's good ?
Nothing much .
I didn't think we were going to do this right now , oh my God , yo , you got to stay ready and be ready , aren't you ER ?
I oh my God , you got to stay ready and be ready , aren't you , er ?
I'm saying I am , I'm answering today . No , but medical director got to go to places .
So we got a question that we're trying to answer . So we got a family medicine resident who is going to be doing locums . As someone who does primarily ER , are you still seeing family medicine doctors who are doing ER ?
Yes , medicine doctors who are doing er , yes , but I have found that they are not at the larger big old . You know ordinary tertiary hospitals , more rural places . But they are around , yeah that's what we were saying , and and the ones that did the fellowship are greenlit and more places . So , uh , there are a couple guys who work at my shop .
They're family medicine trained , but they did the ER fellowship afterwards and they function just like an ER residency doc .
All right , so real quick , do you ? I know you work as an independent contractor , but it's kind of like a hybrid independent contracting kind of employed type thing . So , in terms of tracking payroll , expenses , deductions , mileage , what type of software are you using for that ?
Oh , great question . So for the mileage I use an app . I got the idea after listening to y'all . I give y'all credit . I use Stride for mine , so I just get in the car , hit the track button , I drive , and when I get to work I hit end and then at the end of the year it aggregates all the miles and gives you something for the taxes .
So I do that .
And then for business expenses I know , Dan , I know you be putting some extra miles in there . Let me go to Burger King real quick .
Starbucks counts as work . You know what I'm'm saying ? I'm going to get a drink from work . I'm castrating myself . That counts too oh , lord all right , it counts .
All right , keep going expenses .
I keep it simple . Just if it's on the amex , it's probably a business expense . Um , so I have an amex business account and then everything on there is basically business as far as I can do it yo you using black card or what you rolling like that no platinum , platinum .
Oh , it's on that black okay it's on that black card status , but you know it makes business platinum . That that's the way to go . Um , if anyone needs a link , holler at me .
I could definitely use a couple extra points we're gonna put , we're gonna put your link in the show notes .
Hey look , if I get some people off of it , that referral bonus is nice .
Nice , he's trying to get put on by Docs Outside the Box .
We'll do that for him , since we did not pay him to appear .
Listen , man , this is all right . So what about like payroll ? How do you do that ? How do you get ? Because we talked about this . Yeah , talk about that .
So I'm a little similar . I think y'all are technically 100% more complex than me . I just got myself . So I have ADP does my payroll . For those who don't know , it's a company out there that does payroll , kind of specializing in it they are . I have everything set up there .
I enter myself as an employee , I enter the cost I'm supposed to pay myself , and then ADP deducts that from the business account and then pays myself . So my payroll is just to me . So , because I am a salaried employee for my company , it's set . So I don't check in like hours in and hours hour , anything else like that .
It's just set for the year , so I don't think about anything else from there . Really , okay , that's about all . I am hours out or anything else like that .
It's just set for the year , so I don't think about anything else from there , really , okay , so when you , so you and you can clarify this real quick . This will be the last question when you get paid , when monies comes to you from the hospital , is that coming to dr love , or is that coming to ? Who's that coming to ?
great . So whenever I get paid from the company I work for , it goes to a mega PC company . It goes to that account . It's a separate account that I have for my personal account . It goes there and then ADP goes there and sends Love Anani his salary from that account .
So everything , every hour I work in this building , every shift I work , get put to MECA PC .
Got it . Got it . Okay , alright , cool . So we appreciate that . Dr Renee , you want to add anything at all ?
No , this was really impromptu yeah that's how we do .
That's how we do .
That's how we do , man .
Let me answer it . That's how we do , man .
Let me answer , that's how we do , that's how we do , man , just so people know that this is real , this is spontaneous . Okay , dr Love , we appreciate you , man .
Thank you thanks , love peace bye alright y'all so . I can't believe you just called this man .
That's how we do , and we're gonna do more of that , guys don't put your numbers in here he the text questions .
You're going to go ? Well , yeah , because we have their numbers after they text I won't do that to you guys . No , I might call . Hey what y'all doing ?
All right , you want to come watch our kids . So for payroll and expenses . So , yes , we use one card to pay for everything on business . It's a business card , right ? So when Dr Renee goes and she works and she gets a hotel , it's on a business card . When she goes and buys food , any type of food , it's on the same business card .
And then same thing for me . We don't use our personal card for Nathan . Nothing , it's just . Our personal card is for paying , taking care of our kids , you know what , or whatever . Business is on business . Personal is on personal . So for payroll and expenses . So for payroll , we use something called Gusto . It's gustocom .
It's a really popular website that a lot of people use . Particularly small businesses
¶ Tracking Expenses and AI Scribing
use ADP . That's another type of thing where you can do payroll . That's what Dr Love uses . For expenses , like I said , we use a card .
But to actually track expenses so that you can do some projections like okay , well , if you're spending this much on food or you're spending this much on travel , or even how do you know , like that you got paid by the company , right ? Like you have to have a ledger of expenses . We use QuickBooks for deductions .
Deductions that's part of the expenses part Right . So if you're using your business card to pay for Internet , or if you're using your business card to pay for gas or for flights , that's where the combination of the business card as well as QuickBooks comes in . That's where the combination of the business card as well as QuickBooks comes in . Now for mileage .
He uses Stride . I might try that , but we use MileIQ . Mileiq basically what these apps are . They're very easy to find . All there is is you download it , you put it on your phone and then it just tracks everywhere you go . So just be careful who you're going to , right ?
And then at the end of the week To your locum's work wife .
Right , so at the end of the week or even at the same day , reality . Tv Once the drive starts or stops , it'll categorize . Excuse me , you have an opportunity to categorize . Is this a personal side piece move or is this like a move to like mail some stuff to UPS ? You can make a business or you can make it personal . What you looking at me for ?
Yeah , I talk with a free chest . Who want to go live with me ?
when , I go .
Pop up on Dr Neen who want to go live .
Free chest . I got nothing , but some people do that . Thoughts on AI scribing and if it is the future , Absolutely , guys , oh yeah for sure . Like I'm not saying like AI scribing is like boom , but it's basically another iteration of the dictaphone , right ?
Or dictation , like it's just something that is listening to you and then it's taking information , and if it can make it easier , yeah I would say go for it .
Have you ever used Otter AI for ?
Zoom .
Yeah , that's . I mean , that's what it is . It's just going to be like Otter , Like if you use Zoom and you've used Otter AI , it's going to be exact same thing , except that that particular AI is going to be used very specifically to say what was the chief complaint , what was you know the subjective , what was the objective ? Blah , blah , blah , blah , blah .
That's it . I mean , it's really not a , for me , it's a no brainer .
Yeah , just make sure you double check everything . Remember guys like this is still all of this . This is all beta , Right , All of this stuff is beta . It's not perfect and you're putting it into an actual medical record that someone is going to make decisions about . Treatments are going to be based off of this .
History is going to come from this Life and death type decisions are going to be based off of . This History is going to come from this Life and death type decisions are going to be made first .
So just make sure you double check it , and then I would put on the bottom that this was described using AI and stuff like that , so people know that , hey , there could be possibly mistakes in here . So that's what I would do , but they don't care .
They don't care , you can put whatever you want , just be careful .
Just careful , but I double check everything you know and sometimes even triple check and just make sure . Does this make sense ? Kind of like using templates . Now , right , like because I don't like typing template , I don't like typing anymore .
I type for a long period of time , like when I'm typing notes , and like I start to get pain here , right , which is consistent with , you know , carpal tunnel . So it's like what's the point ? So I use the dictaphone or the microphone and eventually , well , you know , I know renee is already using , but some AI scribing is really dope .
