The Doctor's Guide to Starting Your Practice Right

Eagle, ID, June 21, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Residents and new doctors often need guidance to get their careers off to a great start. Knowing what a good practice looks like and how to pick one they will enjoy is critical to their long-term success. Medical schools train new doctors to practice medicine—but they don’t offer classes on how to find the right job, or provide information on how to negotiate their first contract or get the privileges and licenses they need. Add to that the changing practice models from owner to employee, the costs and complexity of malpractice insurance and the heavy debt from education, and they may feel they’ve just jumped into areas they know nothing about at this stage of their career.

Finding the right job is an opportunity to start creating the life of a doctor’s dreams. The Doctors Guide to Starting Your Practice Right describes what to look for in a practice, how to evaluate the critical details, and how to pick one that’s the right fit. It also shows how to negotiate a work and time-off balance to prevent burnout and have time for fun, family, and friends.

This book is about more than the money—but how money is allocated early in a doctor’s career directly affects their future wealth and the age at which they can retire. Too many doctors are stretching out their student loan payments, carrying perpetual debt, and giving a large chunk of each paycheck to the bank.

Many doctors are dealing with an out-of-control work or call schedule, overwhelming debt, or working in a practice or with partners they don’t like. The prevalence of burnout and suicide among physicians is a clear warning that doctors need guidance to navigate these waters.

I found this to be an absolutely outstanding book. It should be required reading for every resident and I am certain they would welcome the guidance to successfully navigate the early stages of their medical career. – Sean Traynor, MD, FACS

There’s so much critically important information here. None of it was addressed by anyone in my training track. – Nathan Kemalyan, MD, FACS
