Читать книгу Start & Run a Medical Practice - Michael Clifford Fabian - Страница 3

To start and run a health-care practice is a continuum — from the time you think about a career in a medical field to the day you finally take down the shingle, and everything in between. None of the steps along the way can be considered in isolation as each and every part of the journey plays a key role as to how your career, or practice, will shape up in the end.

Having a fulfilling career in a medical field, or in any career for that matter, is based on having sound motivation, goals, and expectations for what lies ahead. Also, doing due diligence when it comes to researching the field before you dive into things head first will make for a happy camper in the long run! The office staff who are involved in a medical practice will also understand and appreciate things so much better if the appropriate background is gained at the outset.

While much of this book is focused on practicing as a medical doctor, there is significant overlap between the different health-care professions. Much of what is covered in this book can be applicable to any of the allied health-care professions and thus will be of interest to people in similar careers. Many medical offices are multidisciplinary in the first place, with medical doctors working alongside colleagues in other health-related fields. It is for this reason that a wide audience can relate to setting up a career and practice in a health-care related field.

While I have mostly learned though personal experience as to how to start and run a medical practice, I often wished I had a resource like this book to help me with the choices and the challenges I had in the beginning. Also having realistic ideas of what lies ahead before making those life-changing decisions is paramount. No matter what stage of the journey you are at, what decisions you have ahead, which health-care field you are in, or what your intent is in reading this book, I hope that you will find the content helpful and relevant to your needs.
