Helping Healthcare Professionals and Organizations Navigate Business, Leadership, and Strategy
Consulting, salary negotiation coaching, and strategic guidance for clinicians, clinics, and professional organizations.
Hi, I’m Jake Mischke. I’m a physical therapist, educator, MBA-trained strategist, and consultant. I help healthcare professionals, clinic leaders, and organizations make clearer decisions about business, compensation, leadership, and the future of practice.
My background includes orthopedic clinical practice, Doctor of Physical Therapy education, state and national professional service, and financial stewardship. I bring that mix to consulting, negotiation coaching, speaking, and board or advisory roles.
How I Can Help
-
I help physical therapy practices, clinical teams, and professional organizations make clearer business decisions. This may include growth strategy, operations, financial decision-making, new service models, employer partnerships, and ways to better connect clinical care with organizational strategy.
My approach is practical and collaborative. I try to help leaders see the numbers, understand the options, and choose a path they can actually put into practice.
-
I help heathcare professionals prepare for compensation conversations with confidence and a clear plan. This may include first job offers, raises, promotions, leadership opportunities, role changes, benefits, professional development support, flexible scheduling, and student loan support.
The goal is to be prepared, professional, and clear your market value.
-
I support organizations that need practical guidance at the intersection of healthcare, finance, education, and clinical practice. I bring experience with budgeting, financial oversight, nonprofit governance, professional association leadership, strategic planning, and healthcare education.
I am especially interested in helping organizations make responsible decisions that support patients, clinicians, students, and the long-term health of the profession.
-
I speak to students, clinicians, faculty, professional associations, and healthcare leaders on topics such as salary negotiation, business literacy, healthcare finance, leadership, professional identity, and the future of physical therapy.
My goal is to make every session practical, clear, and actionable.
-
I develop and deliver educational content for physical therapists, students, clinics, universities, and professional organizations. Topics often include business management, financial strategy, salary negotiation, value-based care, leadership, and professional development.
Courses can be live, online, on demand, or built specifically for a group’s needs.
