#193: Chase DiMarco: Bridging a Resource Gap in Clinical Education

05/27/21 • 45 min

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Chase DiMarco, founder and lead educator at FreeMedEd, CEO of FindARotation, and co-author of “Read This Before Medical School.” Chase shares his experiences creating a medical resource website to help students with their education. He also discusses how and why he got into podcasting and the goal of his web app, FindARotation.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

Chase double majored in psychology and medicine before going to a Caribbean medical school where he started FreeMedEd, an online resource provider.
Initially, FreeMedEd housed YouTube videos, playlists, and quizzes for students to use to help round out their medical school education. Now, the site contains podcasts, books, and online courses.
Jason and Chase discuss options for people who might be interested in going to a Caribbean medical school.
Impostor syndrome can occur when you’re creating your own online course. Double-check every bit of information you’re sharing.
You don’t have to do everything yourself. You can outsource or hire freelancers via Fiverr or Upwork.
Chase hosts two podcasts and is currently working on a third show.
‘Medical Mnemonist’ was launched to help students with their board exams. The show features medical mnemonist champions and trainers to help students increase their memory and formulate efficient study skills.
‘Rounds to Residency’ targets medical students who need to do medical rounds. The podcast helps them navigate rotations.
Chase’s third podcast, which hasn’t been released yet, will showcase global perspectives on science, medicine, and healthcare with skilled researchers and scientists.
Chase’s podcasts started as a labor of love and are now his primary tool for networking.
FindARotation is a crowdsourced clinical rotations platform currently in its beta stage. The goal of the app is to be an untapped resource for clinical instructors and students searching to book clinical sites.
When it comes to app development, do your due diligence. Apps require a great deal of research and development - for Chase, it was two years. You need to consider design, legalities and leave room for trial and error.
Listening and reading can only get you so far. Go out, make mistakes, and then learn from them.

3 KEY POINTS:

In general, medical schools are self-regulated. Utilize resources available on the internet and find the right mentor to supplement class lectures.
Plan out your online course first or find a template. If you want to design the webpage yourself, there are several cost-effective website builders you can use.
When working with an app developer, do your due diligence, get a separate graphic designer and keep your expectations low.

#192: Tactical Tuesday: Set Revenue Goals that Grow with You & Your Business

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about setting revenue goals and tracking them. He also discusses how business owners can best utilize revenue goals to increase net profits, as well as fix their profit and loss (P&L) statements.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

It’s important to set revenue goals that can grow with you - and your business.
Start by reviewing your totals sales and expenses.
Don’t focus solely on top-line revenue. You should also look at fixed and non-fixed expenses.
Substantial increases in top-line revenue can fix P&Ls—but businesses cannot infinitely increase their top-line revenue.
You’ll often hear business owners brag about their gross revenue numbers. What matters is net revenue. There’s no point in increasing gross sales if there’s no substantial increase in net profit.
Eliminate expenses like underutilized or unused subscriptions.
Set small, steady achievable goals. For example, if you want to increase your profit, consider a realistic number such as 4% each month.
Focus on expenses and not just the top line.

3 KEY POINTS:

Review your fixed and non-fixed expenses and make changes quarterly.
Set micro revenue goals for each month and readjust them as necessary.
Print your P&Ls on a monthly and quarterly basis, and track the numbers in a spreadsheet.

#194: Tactical Tuesday: Developing Know, Like & Trust to Increase Customer Engagement

OVERVIEW:

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast offers tips on how to make prospects and customers aware of your business (know) to build like and trust so they’ll do business with you.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

Getting to know people is relatively easy. Making them like and trust you is a little more challenging and takes time to develop and study.
People who do well in business or in life tend to be likable. You can foster likability if you’re easy to hang out with, you participate in conversations with others and you’re inquisitive.
If you cause friction, you won’t go far, no matter how big your business is. Focus on building rapport and friendships.
Competence, honesty, and benevolence are three components of trust, according to a behavioral scientist, Jason has listened to online.
When going into a new relationship or meeting someone new, most people try to overplay how competent they are. First, show that you are benevolent and honest.
If you make a mistake, own up to it. Other people—especially superiors at work—will be more likely to overlook the mistake if you openly acknowledge your mistake.
The IKEA effect is defined as people who tend to trust and care more for what they build on their own or invest time and money in. This same principle can apply to relationships.
Accept favors and support from other people to help develop trust.

3 KEY POINTS:

Be likable. People enjoy doing business with people they like.
Trust is determined by competence, honesty, and benevolence.
Work for the best interests of the people around you, and things will fall into place.
