Title: The Medicine Business Panel Discussion

Description: For anyone who is thinking of having a medical practice -- it is like starting a business. The same way a hospital would look at where to locate their facilities in terms of demographics, competition, convenience for patients, drawing in top clinicians -- these things can come into play for a smaller practice. Also understanding from an entrepreneur both what it takes to start a business, how medical technology gets launched and how it may affect patient care, or how health data can be used for good care (or misused) are all valuable. So it's not just relevant to "Business" but it is relevant to clinical practice too.
