How to Start a Private Medical Practice From Scratch

About this episode

Humayun and Adil break down what it actually takes to open a private medical practice from scratch — the side of the job that years of medical training never prepare a physician for. They get into the business of going independent: the decisions that come long before you see your first patient, the mentors and advisors worth having in your corner, and the entrepreneurial mindset a doctor has to build on top of clinical skill.
