Basics of building a private dermatology practice--a startup guide
The growing demand for dermatologic services and shortage of dermatologic providers sets the stage for favorable market conditions to open a private dermatology practice. However, business-related education in medicine is lacking and the concept of starting a new practice may be daunting for dermatologists in any stage of training. We describe key components of starting a private dermatology practice. Topics include strategies to build a business plan, find a location, explore financial options, structure a legal framework, and incorporate branding and marketing.
