This year’s content starts with a focus on discovering whether it is possible to remain in clinical medicine when faced with dissatisfaction or outright burnout while in practice. Several lectures are dedicated to ways to provide medical care that is fulfilling and meaningful while maintaining control and balance in the clinician’s life.
Several specific examples of cash-only practices and health-related businesses, such as a weight loss clinic, MedSpa, and Infusion Lounge are presented. And there is a focus on protecting yourself legally while creating an asset that can be sold at the appropriate time.
