Description

This is the final episode of 2025, and we’re ending the year with a practical look at why 2026 may be the right time to start a private medical practice.

In this episode, I share six real-world reasons physicians are choosing private practice—not for hype, but for sustainability, autonomy, and better patient care.

• Why patients are actively seeking a medical home outside large health systems
• How private practice restores physician autonomy
• The truth about controlling your income as a practice owner
• Why independent physicians play a key role in combating medical misinformation
• How small practices adapt faster in a changing healthcare landscape
• How to define success on your own terms as a physician

Private practice isn’t about escaping medicine—it’s about practicing medicine with intention.

If you want something different by the end of 2026, the planning starts now.
