The Business of Medicine: What Physicians Are Not Taught About Building a Practice

Most physicians enter medicine highly trained clinically-but underprepared for the operational realities of practice.The Business of Medicine addresses this gap.Dr. Robert Zaid provides a practical, experience-based framework for understanding how medical practices function-from revenue and reimbursement to staffing, systems, and patient acquisition.This book is not only a guide for physicians in practice, but also a valuable educational tool. It is well-suited for use in medical schools, residency programs, and physician training environments seeking to introduce core business concepts often absent from formal curricula.Each chapter includes structured "Build Your Practice" sections that can be adapted into workshops, group discussions, and applied learning exercises.For physicians looking to better understand the system they work within-and for educators seeking to teach it-this book provides a clear and actionable foundation.
