You’re a Doctor, Not a Business Magnate. But Why Not Be Both?

It takes more than great patient care to operate a successful medical practice.

As a physician you know the ins and outs of medicine, but for a small practice to thrive, you also need a solid understanding of the fundamentals of running a business.

Don’t let the business of medicine bog down your practice.

The Texas Medical Association’s publication Business Basics for Physicians can help provide the skills you need to run a successful medical practice, including:

  • Best practices for hiring and staff management;
  • Strategies for budget development; and
  • Steps for building administrative policies and procedures.

The publication also can help you address your accounting and financial management responsibly, build both long- and short-term business plans, effectively work with payers, and utilize the latest practice management technologies efficiently.

But that’s not all. The publication is also accredited for 3.5 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM and 3.5 Ethics credits.
