Top Survey Sites for Physicians to Earn Money
As a physician, I am always looking to supplement my income. Surveys are a great way to do that on your off time.

Of course, not. But, it can be a significant source of supplemental income. So, take a look below, register and get started today so you can…

A Letter to the Doctors and Nurses Who Cared for My Wife
After his 34-year-old wife suffered a devastating asthma attack and later died, the Boston writer Peter DeMarco wrote the following letter to the intensive care unit staff of CHA Cambridge Hospital who cared for her and helped him cope.
As I begin to tell my friends and family about the seven days you treated my wife, Laura Levis, in what turned out to be the last days of her young life, they stop me at about the 15th name that I recall. The list includes the doctors, nurses, respiratory specialists, social workers, even cleaning staff members who cared for her.
“How do you remember any of their names?” they ask.
How could I not, I respond.
Every single one of you treated Laura with such professionalism, and kindness, and dignity as she lay unconscious. When she needed shots, you apologized that it was going to hurt a little, whether or not she could hear. When you listened to her heart and lungs through your stethoscopes, and her gown began to slip, you pulled it up to respectfully cover her. You spread a blanket, not only when her body temperature needed regulating, but also when the room was just a little cold, and you thought she’d sleep more comfortably that way.
You cared so greatly for her parents, helping them climb into the room’s awkward recliner, fetching them fresh water almost by the hour, and by answering every one of their medical questions with incredible patience. My father-in-law, a doctor himself as you learned, felt he was involved in her care. I can’t tell you how important that was to him.
Then, there was how you treated me. How would I have found the strength to have made it through that week without you?
How many times did you walk into the room to find me sobbing, my head down, resting on her hand, and quietly go about your task, as if willing yourselves invisible? How many times did you help me set up the recliner as close as possible to her bedside, crawling into the mess of wires and tubes around her bed in order to swing her forward just a few feet?
How many times did you check in on me to see whether I needed anything, from food to drink, fresh clothes to a hot shower, or to see whether I needed a better explanation of a medical procedure, or just someone to talk to?
How many times did you hug me and console me when I fell to pieces, or ask about Laura’s life and the person she was, taking the time to look at her photos or read the things I’d written about her? How many times did you deliver bad news with compassionate words, and sadness in your eyes?
When I needed to use a computer for an emergency email, you made it happen. When I smuggled in a very special visitor, our tuxedo cat, Cola, for one final lick of Laura’s face, you “didn’t see a thing.”
And one special evening, you gave me full control to usher into the I.C.U. more than 50 people in Laura’s life, from friends to co-workers to college alums to family members. It was an outpouring of love that included guitar playing and opera singing and dancing and new revelations to me about just how deeply my wife touched people. It was the last great night of our marriage together, for both of us, and it wouldn’t have happened without your support.
There is another moment — actually, a single hour — that I will never forget.
On the final day, as we waited for Laura’s organ donor surgery, all I wanted was to be alone with her. But family and friends kept coming to say their goodbyes, and the clock ticked away. About 4 p.m., finally, everyone had gone, and I was emotionally and physically exhausted, in need of a nap. So I asked her nurses, Donna and Jen, if they could help me set up the recliner, which was so uncomfortable, but all I had, next to Laura again. They had a better idea.
They asked me to leave the room for a moment, and when I returned, they had shifted Laura to the right side of her bed, leaving just enough room for me to crawl in with her one last time. I asked if they could give us one hour without a single interruption, and they nodded, closing the curtains and the doors, and shutting off the lights.
I nestled my body against hers. She looked so beautiful, and I told her so, stroking her hair and face. Pulling her gown down slightly, I kissed her breasts, and laid my head on her chest, feeling it rise and fall with each breath, her heartbeat in my ear. It was our last tender moment as a husband and a wife, and it was more natural and pure and comforting than anything I’ve ever felt. And then I fell asleep.
I will remember that last hour together for the rest of my life. It was a gift beyond gifts, and I have Donna and Jen to thank for it.
Really, I have all of you to thank for it.
With my eternal gratitude and love,
Peter DeMarco

26 Ways for Physicians to Supplement Their Income
Now that you finished medical school and residency, you may think to yourself “How am I going to pay back these loans, get a house, get a car, support a family?” Unlike 20 years ago, you have many options to supplement your income. Here are some ways for physicians to supplement their income whether they are fresh out of residency or experienced.
1. Get a job with the state Department of transportation (DOT) as a medical examiner: http://nadme.org/
2. Teaching university courses online. There may be a variety of health related topics you can teach. See www.uoponline.com among others.
3. Author CME courses. See: www.arcmesa.org
4. Locum tenens can be a good idea. Try: Nomad
Nomad is a free network for doctors to find great locum tenens, telehealth, and permanent jobs, without agency recruiters and with full transparency of job details. Don’t let recruiters take more of what you should be making! The site was created For doctors, by doctors.
nomad
5. Check out some freelance sites for possible medical writing or other positions: www.upwork.com, www.sologig.com, www.elance.com
6. There are always jobs for doing IME’s or expert witnessing for attorneys or insurance companies. See: www.mcn.com, www.nationalmedicalconsultants.com, Scope Medical
7. Try www.ssa.gov for your state social security office. You could be an expert witness, review charts or see patients.
8. Freelance writing, either online or offline on parenting topics. See: www.writersmarket.com, www.writersweekly.com and many others for more on freelance writing. There are many parenting websites and they are often looking for content. Having an MD can really help you get your foot in the door.
9. Have you considered becoming a life or career coach? Check out www.coachville.com (coaching is listed in the Edwards book as one of the highest paying and most in demand work-at-home jobs). The work is done primarily by telephone.
10. Teach online for Kaplan for the MCAT and the other Pre-Health tests. It’s a super easy job and you can TA from behind the scenes (and therefore can literally just log in, answer some questions and get paid $20 an hour) If you actually teach it, you’ll make $30+ an hour.
11. In regards to surveys, I recommend M3, Reckner, MDLinx. You will not be contacted all that frequently, but they’ll pay you $200-300 for an hour of your time. It can be interesting too, as it usually involves new drug, device, etc.
12. Midlevel providers — nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs)– are entering independent practice or working in retail clinics that have no doctors on-site. Mid level providers are often required to designate a supervising physician and work with him or her. They pay the supervising physician as much as $15,000 a year for basically several hours of work each month.
How do physicians find midlevels to supervise? NPs looking for physician-supervisors sometimes advertise on Craigslist, or you might be able to connect with them on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook, according to the Nurse Practitioner Business Owner Website. This site also offers discussion groups.
13. Sitting at your own home office, you can provide telehealth consults to distant patients. This work — done by phone or over the Internet — generally uses part-time physicians. You can arrange to take the calls in your off hours.
Telehealth doctors, who advise patients whom they will never meet in person, deal with a variety of simple complaints. Because procedures are not involved, the work is a good fit for primary care physicians. They can even write short-term prescriptions. If the telehealth physician decides that the complaint cannot be handled over the phone, the patient is directed to a local doctor or the emergency department.

14. The resurgence of house calls provides a new way to make extra money. A variety of fledgling companies offer part-time employment, reviving a tradition that seemed all but dead in the 1990s.
See: http://www.innhousedoctor.com, http://www.whiteglove.com
15. Physicians can get short-term locum tenens jobs to staff special events, such as walks and runs, music festivals, and health screenings.
16. Work on a Cruise Ship
See: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line
17. Compensation and Pension Exams, IMEs, Peer Reviews
Do exams for the military, Veterans Administration and insurance companies.
Designated Doctor Exams, Required Medical Exams & Independent Medical Exams: Evaluating the medical status of an injured patient.
Treatment Planning/Reviews: Evaluating and making recommendations concerning the proper medical treatment.
Second Surgical Opinions: Evaluating surgical candidates
See: MET, http://www.churchilleval.com, USA Jobs, QTC, VES, Concentra
18. Identify Cash-paying Services in Your Own Practice. It’s clear to succeed we must become less reliant on insurance. Are there patients that you service that are not dependent on medical insurance? For example, if you are in primary care, are there patients you can identify who are paying by cash? Contact these patients as this could be a seamless way in transitioning to a concierge medicine practice.
19. Start a Class. Is your clinic unused on the weekends or after hours? You may want to consider offering group classes to help with patients, or attract new ones. These can be on topics where you wish you can spend more time with patients. Examples we have recommended include bringing in nutritionists, or start a smoking cessation session. This can bring in income when your clinic is not in use.
20. Become a Coach or Consultant. What type of specialized knowledge can you share with others? Becoming a consultant can help you provide help to others who need it and will pay you for your expertise. In fact I know doctors who help other doctors with burnout, build a cash practice, or advise on financial investments. With many doctors transitioning this area will just get even bigger and in demand.
21. Create your Own Online Membership Site. I’ve worked with doctors who have built private fee-based websites for their patients where they share knowledge to help them with their health. Note, you don’t have to be limited by health subjects, just find a topic that you are passionate, and that you can provide content that people will want.
22. Start a Blog. Have something to say? You can make a nice extra income by writing and selling your own products via your own blog. Make extra money selling online advertising. You can also use that as a springboard to building a following. Generate more revenue by adding an email autoresponder to notify readers of upcoming posts.
See: www.kevinmd.com, www.33charts.com, www.getbetterhealth.com, Mercola
23. Rent out your office space to other doctors needing space. For example, you can rent out your space for doctors to conduct physical exams, EMG nerve conduction tests, or any other use they may need. Use Backpage or Craigslist to list your space.
24. Workmen’s Compensation Exams, Disability Evaluations, Peer Reviews, Appeal Reviews, and/or FMLA Second and Third Opinions
See: MSLA
25. Medicare Advantage exams – Perform in-house exams. You are not required to prescribe medication, order lab tests, do blood work or alter the member’s current treatment regimen.
You can choose to work locally, across state, or out of state. They work entirely around your schedule to make these evaluations as convenient as possible. They can be done on a part-time or ongoing/weekly basis.
See Censeo Health
26. Work at an urgent care center. Mainly open to ER docs, Occupational Medicine, Internal Medicine and Family Medicine. Pediatricians can work at Pediatric urgent care centers.
