  3. Essential reading

    A very important reading for today’s physician. It’s not perfect however. Chapters and sub chapters seem disorganized and without logical flow.

    Nevertheless, it is the best book out there now and I’ve read quite a few already.

  4. Bible for Physician Practice Management

    This is the practice “Bible” for all physician owners and physician financial advisors. With thirty seven chapters and over 700 pages this is mandatory reading on the topics related to all major topics covering the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business side of today’s medical practice written by experts in the field.

    The evolution in health care has created even a greater need for business savvy physicians and has also created a entire niche of financial advisors that focus on advising these business owners physicians. This text fills the gap left by Medical Schools and MBA programs that do not cover this subject matter with any degree of competency.

    As a physician focused financial advisor I found the information about various aspects of medical practice management very useful in understanding and advising my physician clients concerning their practices.

  5. Dear Sir or Madam:

    I am a Doctor of Chiropractic in California. Recently I have closed my practice for reasons I think you are familiar with (Managed Care).

    Now I am looking for another career within medicine that does not involve treating patients. This could be in consulting or management, sales, etc.

    I’m seeking some guidance from others who’ve gone down a similar path. And in case you’re wondering, I found your organization through your text Business of Medial Practice 3rd edition.

    Currently, I’m reading up on your Certified Medical Planner™ program. Does your organization offer training in other areas of medicine as well? I have no training or background in finance, therefore am not sure if I would be suitable for a career in medical financial planning.

    I would be so appreciative if you could offer any insight on transitioning from practice to other employment areas of medicine, whether that be through the CMP™ program or other unrelated training.

    If you’d like to share your insights, please contact me however you wish. In the mean time I will continue to read your wonderful text book.

    Yours sincerely,

    Paul Picha DC

  6. MBA-seeking doctors look to traditional programs

    Business training for doctors has been growing steadily since the late 1990s when University of California Irvine became one of the first medical schools to offer a joint MD/MBA program, as well as a healthcare-specific executive MBA.

    http://www.physbiztech.com/news/business/mba-seeking-doctors-look-traditional-business-programs?email=MARCINKOADVISORS@MSN.COM&GroupID=90115

    Now more than 50 percent of medical schools offer the joint degree.
    More evidence that this book will help.

    “This comprehensive multi-authored text contains over 450 pages of highly specific and well-documented information that will be interest to physicians in private practice, academics, and in medical management. . .

  8. AMA finds private practice model thriving

    Even in the face of increasing hospital employment and acquisitions, private practice medicine continues to perform tenaciously, according to a new report released by the American Medical Association.

    I wonder if they bought your books, Dr. Marcinko? I know I did.

  9. Is the physician exodus to hospitals exaggerated?

    A new report challenges the theory that the small medical practice is nearly extinct.
