Medicine is a Business Already! -- How Physicians Can Learn to Manage the Business of Medicine

    SUPERIOR, CO, April 03, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Physicians, long on technical know how, and short on business knowledge, can now learn how to run their practices from a fellow physician. Marica Pook, MD and guests provide practical webinars on the business aspects of running a medical practice. Titled "MBA in a Day for Physicians," physicians learn from the ground up: first learning business terms, then understanding financial statements and lastly learning how to analyze business opportunities from Dr. Pook.

Dr. Pook, and Suzanne DeVenny, BS, MS, certified QuickBooks bookkeeper, have developed on line webinars just for physicians. The webinar is split into 2 one hour sessions; the first is on business terms and financial statements, the second is on analysis of opportunities and cash flow budgeting. The webinars for April are scheduled April 16 and April 30th at 6:00 pm Mountain. Each webinar is one hour, and cost is $85.00 for each webinar. Registration is online at http://physicianpracticeseminars.com/ then click practice management seminars. Included in registration is the one hour webinar, study guide for the webinar, and question and answer session with Dr. Pook and Ms. DeVenny. The webinar allows participants to view slides on line while talking via phone.

Physicians, like many technical professionals, do not learn the basics of business, although medical practices are businesses. Dr. Pook's webinars provide information specific to physicians that allows physicians to manage and grow their practices.

Dr. Pook is the president of ExtraMD, PC. ExtraMD provides "fill in" physicians to medical practices. Dr. Pook attended the University Of Washington School Of Business prior to attending medical school at the University of Colorado. She is passionate about the business of medicine.
