Starting a private practice requires significant planning and a measure of business acumen. Since doctors are often untrained in the relevant business processes, we have endeavoured to provide a broad overview of the steps involved in setting up a private practice to help you get started.
Bear in mind, however, that the implementation and ultimate success of your practice will likely require you to do deeper research.
As the process can seem daunting, some Practice Management Bureaus exist to assist doctors with starting and managing their private practices.
Still, getting a broad grip on what a private practice entails would be a wise first step. So, put your (likely underutilised) business cap on, and let’s get started !
