How to Grow and Exit Your Physician Practice

As clinicians first, many physicians aren’t focused on how to grow and scale the “business-side” of their practices. Likewise, they rarely have determined what their exit strategy could be, as that is often deferred to retirement. As such, many physician-owners just “hang up the lab coat” when it is time to retire, leaving millions of dollars in value behind.
