About this episode

This episode discusses the business knowledge gap in medical practice management and offers practical steps to address it.

Medical school taught you how to care for patients — it didn’t teach you how to run a practice. In this SNACK episode, Miranda Dorta interviews host Tracy Cherpeski about the business knowledge gap that’s costing independent practice owners, and the practical steps you can take to close it without going back to school.
