Читать книгу Start & Run a Medical Practice - Michael Clifford Fabian - Страница 5

The term medicine is used very broadly. In some ways it is a misnomer because much of what is done in the medical field is not related to medicine; most people equate medicine to some type of compound or solution. The practice of medicine encompasses so many different things other than just giving or taking medicine. In section 2., you will learn more about the many careers within medicine, or similar to medicine, that have nothing to do with “prescribed” medicine.

Having this background about the term “medicine” during the course of this book will allow you to appreciate the overlap with the allied health professions and medical doctors. Terminology does not always do justice — what’s more important are the concepts and boundaries, particularly relating to starting a medical practice.
