The business of medicine is like no other type of business. The concerns of physicians are different than the concerns of most individuals. Physicians enter the workforce at a much later stage in life and are faced with making important financial, career, and life planning decisions at a time when they have fewer income producing years than their non-medical contemporaries.
The larger concern now is that those income producing years are getting leaner than they have been in the past. Visit the attached CNN money article for some insight to the current state of affairs facing the business of medicine today.
