This thread discusses the Content article: Marketing a Medical Practice

Of all the things physicians do in their careers, this seems the least organic.

How long did it take before you felt comfortable marketing your own practice?

As a medical student, I am concerned that the "business side" of medicine is barely discussed in medical school. After reading the article, it is obvious that there are alot of factors involved in making a private practice successful.

My question for the practicing physicians reading this post: could you fairly easily adjust to the demands of a private practice or did you wish that more emphasis had been placed on the business aspects of medicine during medical school?

I am very interested in the business side of medicine and was wondering what business classes would be most useful to take? I do not want to get an MBA but would like to take some evening classes at a local University. Which classes would make sense for a scientist without a business background?

I have a friend who is a pediatrics resident who is about to finish her residency. She has decided to join an established practice because she is not ready to start up a practice on her own. One reason is that she wants to have a family and feels that it would take too much of her time to deal with all the details of starting her own practice.
