Practice innovation strategies: Private practice

UPDATED . 4 MIN READ

The private practice model is an attractive option for physicians who seek to provide more personalized medical care for their patients. This collection of AMA STEPS Forward® Practice Innovation Strategies offers the resources and support physicians need to both start and sustain a successful private practice.

The goal of this playbook is to offer foundational knowledge on private practice to allow physicians to enter meaningful conversations with professional advisors and peers.
