You studied long and hard to become a physician. Somewhere along the way, you discovered there was more to treating patients than you thought. You learned that being a doctor is about more than patient care – it’s about improving the total patient experience by building and running an efficient practice. It’s about working smarter – not harder – in these challenging economic times.

The key to delivering high performance healthcare is incorporating into your daily practice the core business concepts that every physician should understand.

That’s why MedChi, The Maryland State Medical Society and the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business have partnered to design and develop an innovative program called The Business of Practicing Medicine.

This custom program is designed for doctors who are either running or are part of a small practice. It covers eight business topics of particular relevance to physicians - topics that will help you improve the patient experience and patient outcomes, build and efficiently run your practice, and work more effectively with your colleagues and other healthcare professionals.

In this unique program, you’ll become more effective in:

  • Managing your finances
  • Marketing your services
  • Incorporating new technologies
  • Handling legal issues
  • Negotiating win-win outcomes
  • Redesigning care
  • Transforming your team
  • Developing future strategies

After completing the program you will receive CME credits and a certification of completion from the Robert H. School of Business at the University of Maryland.

In just eight short months – meeting just twice a month – you could be well on your way to transforming your practice.

And getting back to why you became a doctor in the first place.
