About the Book
You’re a doctor. You know a lot about medicine. But what have you learned about setting up a practice or a partnership? How about dealing with suppliers, negotiating contracts, insurance, or attracting new patients?
Your medical school training never taught you any of this. Neither did it equip you with the knowledge of how to deal with employees, billing, legal matters, and so much more. Now you suddenly realize that if you don’t get a handle on these matters, most of your time won’t be spent on medicine and healing but on keeping your practice profitable and running smoothly.
Dr. Harbin wrote this book to fill the gap: to help doctors deal with the business aspects of medicine and to help doctors in training learn how to evaluate the opportunities that await them when they graduate.
Residents and young physicians should consider this book required reading. Named by Capterra Medical Software blog as one of the best 5 medical management books for small practices.
