Abstract
Essential Paths to Life after Residency
Highlights
Medical education continues to focus on producing quality clinicians but neglects to train doctors in how to practice effective business techniques
Doctors graduate with an often unfulfilled need to know about marketing, finance, billing, fee collection, the health insurance industry, hospital administration, contracts, malpractice concerns, salaries, and private practice advantages
The editors admonish readers to be leaders, not followers, and to dispel fear related to considering the possibilities of successful private practice due to lack of knowledge
Summary
Yvonne Chan recently coedited Health Care Reform through Practical Clinical Guidelines: Ear, Nose, and Throat with Lee. The editors’ goal is to share advice that they received and valued on the topic and to provide recommendations that they wished that they had received. The five chapters include similar perspectives from academic practice physicians from early, midcareer, chair, and emeritus contributors. The chapter on dealing with health information technology software engineers could be of value to both sets of professionals.
