How Did This Clever Physician Build an Indispensable SmartPhone App?

Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica

The Nonclinical Career Academy Membership Program has just re-opened after being closed to new members for almost 6 months. There are more than 20 courses for physicians looking to shift to a nonclinical career available to members.

And to kick things off, on Wednesday, June 9, at 7 PM Central, I’m hosting a free training called Discover Your First Nonclinical Job (Even If You Don't Know Where to Start).

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why your beliefs about a nonclinical career are completely wrong!
• The most popular jobs that thousands of physicians have already landed.
• The tactics I teach to narrow your search, find job listings, present your qualifications, and ace the interview.

Just go to nonclinicalphysicians.com/webinar2 to automatically register and save your spot for the free training.

I’m so happy to be able to interview Dr. Kirsten Limmer. One of my favorite topics is supporting an online side business using an online platform or tool such as a podcast, an online course, or a membership site.

And one that we used to talk about a lot is the smartphone app. I’ve had several guests who have created an app in the past, sometimes doing the programming themselves, sometimes hiring it out.

It used to be you could develop a cool app and bring in decent revenue if it became popular. But whether because of increasing competition, or the steep costs of paying programmers, you don’t hear much about it anymore. I've been looking for a physician with experience developing an app for a long time.

Dr. Kirsten Limmer completed her medical degree and Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at UCSD. Then she pursued her pediatric residency at Harvard Medical School / Massachusetts General Hospital.

She joined a pediatric practice and worked full-time until the COVID pandemic hit in early 2020. During the pandemic, she reduced her work duties to manage and assist in schooling her children at home.

However, Kirsten is also a real estate investor and entrepreneur. She has been buying investment real estate in her spare time and will claim Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) for tax purposes this year.

If you know anything about REPS, you know that documentation of time logs is super-important for claiming tax deductions and preparing for an IRS audit. So she enrolled in an intense software development coding course and built an app herself from the ground up.

During our conversation, Kirsten gets very detailed about how she built her app. And you can learn to do the same by listening today.
