Workshop 2: Getting the business skills you want and need as a doctor
Like many doctors, Dr. Una was ignorant, scared, and felt like an imposter when she started out in business because she was trained to be a great clinician, not an entrepreneur. Over the years, she learned that the two do not need to be mutually exclusive, so she embraced both worlds. As a result, she is able to enjoy the practice of medicine, develop her other interests and best of all, not miss time with her family.
After this workshop, you’ll come away with:
- Your action plan
- Real, doable business skills to put in place in your practice OR your side gig
