Just Say Yes! (to Private Practice)

Dr. David Kopacz — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:21:29 +0000

By David Kopacz, MD
“My first word of advice is this, say yes. In fact, say yes as often as you can. Saying yes brings new things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to new experiences, and new experiences will lead to knowledge and wisdom. Yes is for young people, and an attitude of yes is how you will be able to go forward in these uncertain times,” (President of the University of Connecticut, Michael Hogan’s 2009 commencement address, quoted in “How a New Jobless Era will Transform America, by Don Peck, The Atlantic Monthly, March 2010, p. 48).

Doctors are a pretty conservative bunch. We get to where we are by saying no to many things that are a lot more immediately enjoyable than studying biochemistry. It can and has been said that doctors are a risk-averse group. Why then would any physician in their right mind say “yes” to private practice when there are no financial guarantees, no colleagues, maybe even no employees, no 401(k), no one paying your malpractice insurance, maybe you have some patients, but maybe you don’t even have that!

Why on earth would you say yes to private practice?
Well, for me, it felt like a necessity, and I suppose many adventures start out that way.

Changing the PrivatePractice.MD Mission

Dr. Rich Berning — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:27:50 +0000

The focus of the discussion on PrivatePractice.MD is changing from this point forward. When I first thought about starting a website for doctors in private practice, I planned to develop a team of medical practice experts to teach all of the doctor members useful facts and impart general business knowledge that most doctors don’t get taught in their long education.

Medical practice experts will still be part of this goal, and many of the upcoming podcasts will feature these experts. But I realize that there are many fine brick and mortar and internet resources for medical practice management information available to physicians.
