Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
We’re pleased to introduce our latest two part series on Great Women in Compliance this week – a focus on Healthcare Compliance!  In part one we speak with Donna Schneider Lifespan Vice President, Corporate Compliance and Internal Audit.  In an unconventional start for GWIC, we begin the episode by level setting on the topic of what Healthcare Compliance is compared with similar industry areas and some of the unique topics that fall under Healthcare Compliance, both in the US and internationally before launching into Donna’s fascinating background as a healthcare provider herself initially, before joining the Compliance realm.
Donna shares her subject matter expertise by commenting on pressing issues of the day for Healthcare Chief Compliance Officers. For anyone looking to transition into Healthcare Compliance, you’ll want to tune into this episode as Donna shares her tips for those job hunting and in particular hoping to be a Healthcare Compliance professional.
Donna and Mary also ruminate about the benefits of Compliance certifications and volunteering – they could just set you a apart as a shining candidate in a job search.
We seek Donna’s advice for Compliance Officers seeking zen and balance after your temper has been tested at work.  Tune in for tips from someone who has seen and done a lot in her career and unsurprisingly has some sound tips to take away to keep a sense of calm in even the most stressful of moments.
Mary wraps up the episode with the first of a two pronged speak up campaign – the first prong focuses on the deterrent that staff believe that speaking up is futile.  Tune in to our second episode in the Healthcare Compliance series to hear from Mel Sponholz and the second step in Mary’s speak up campaign.
We like to share advice and tips on the podcast via our learned guests but some things don’t have immediate answers, including some aspects of what we’ve canvassed today.  If you’d like to share your thoughts on the issues raised, we invite you to connect with us at GWICpod@gmail.com.
