Practice management education--are residency programs properly preparing physicians for the 21st century?
Abstract
Several surveys indicate that third-year physician residents and recent graduates felt that their training in practice management skills was inadequate and that they felt unprepared in this area. This professional paper will present a discussion of residency education and the current complex health care environment. It will also describe a three-year comprehensive curriculum in practice management which can be incorporated into the programs.
