Hopefully those of you who are graduating residency in a few weeks have already made final arrangements for going into practice.  Most of you are likely joining an existing podiatric practice, while others of you will enter private practice or join orthopaedic, multi-specialty, or other types of group practices.  Some of you will enter into employment arrangements with hospital systems and academic centers such as the VA’s.  Whatever the arrangement you anticipate going into, it is important to make a well informed decision...and to do that in a timely manner.

 Dr. Guiliana delivers a well organized and well presented overview of the topic which intimidates and frustrates many of you – how to negotiate through the business side of entering into practice.  He discusses the benefits and pitfalls of becoming an associate and also reviews the key points in buying an existing practice.  Also included in this lecture is a very helpful set of FAQ’s which help to bring out some of the most common areas of confusion and mistakes in practice opportunity decision making.
