This is episode 53 of the Hippocratic Hustle Podcast! Amazing! Today Ann Bittinger, JD is chatting with me about tons of stuff that affects almost ALL physicians. Ann Bittinger is an attorney who helps make sure physicians’ employment agreements don’t stand in the way of getting what they want out of life. A specialist in healthcare law, for 20 years she has worked both sides of the physician employment agreement: employer and employee. She is a mom of three, law firm owner, and physician advocate. Hiding out in Jacksonville, Florida, she is a frequent speaker at health law conferences.
