Freedom, this is a state envied by many in the field of medicine but few actually get to achieve it. Proper research on how to start a medical practice from the ground up should be done prior to making the choice of handing in your resignation letter. Failure to do so will usually lead to numerous unforeseen errors in the operation of your new enterprise.
The sovereign state of California has a requirement that individuals should not have revoked licenses when running a practice of their own.
A varied number of factors will bring victory to the choice of going it out alone. A considerable factor would be where to place the enterprise. Proximity to the current place of residence usually gives one the chance of striking a balance of work and home. Since one of the reasons of quitting is usually to have control, setting up away from home will only serve to chew up the most of the time that you actually want to gain from being your own boss. This can be from the stress of commuting on a daily basis.
Assessing your competition will help identify what is currently being offered in the market and what is lacking as a service. This can be turned in favor of you if your new enterprise will be able to offer the specialized services lacking thereby setting you apart from the competition.
Financing should not be a daunting task in setting up. Most of us would prefer a source of capital that does not leave us so deeply indebted in the future. An early start at saving would go a long way in ensuring that one has a comfortable cash base to get of their feet once they start getting into practice. Although savings are a good source of cash the reality is that not all the start up costs can be covered from savings alone.
Financial institutions can be another great source of capital but care has to be taken not to borrow too much lest you fall into debt. Frugal business tactics are important in ensuring that the money gotten is not spent extraneously on unnecessary equipment. Such tactics could involve renting out space instead of buying, purchasing fewer computers, getting second hand furniture, not buying too much office equipment. One would even choose to adopt a paperless office to reduce cost on stationary. Since most of the cash would be spent on acquiring the relevant machines for operation such as x-rays, these tactics may go a long way in saving that extra coin.
The staff is another necessary focal point. A legal adviser, an accountant, a medical assistant and front desk receptionist should suffice. A legal advisor who is more specialized in private practice physicians would be more suitable than just any lawyer. Interpersonal skills will play a big role in managing your new workforce and can be the difference between success and failure.
The medical practitioners board sets up rules of engagement which of properly adhered to should give you. A smooth transition.
