Area(s) of Interest: Practice Management 


A recent LinkedIn survey found that many physicians feel that their clinical training does not adequately prepare them for the reality of the business side of a career in medicine.

The survey, conducted in early February, asked 511 physicians about their professional goals and the non-clinical skills that they believe are most essential to their careers.

Three-quarters of respondents indicated that non-clinical business skills are more important than they were in the past because of how deeply and rapidly the health care industry is changing. More than two-thirds said their career goals include better work-life balance. Nearly half pointed to skills like business and finance, productivity and practice management as essential to take their career to the next level.
