Abstract

The business of medicine requires more than just the knowledge and skills necessary to provide quality patient care. A growing number of opportunities are available for physicians to learn how to better manage the business side of their practices. Today's clinical laboratories, particularly those in health care organizations under pressure to efficiently use limited resources, benefit from having management and leadership specifically trained for these roles.
