Delving into the Latest Updates on Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center with Synapse

Overview

Business and economic aspects of a medical practice are rapidly becoming more complex. Physicians are at a crossroads in the manner by which medical and surgical care will be delivered in Canada, at the very base of which are the business aspects and management of health care. The purpose of this research study was to determine the business acumen of plastic surgeons in active practice. The resource base was Canadian plastic surgeons who are members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons. The intent of the questionnaire research study was to evaluate whether these surgeons perceive this area as necessary and whether they feel adequately prepared to manage this aspect of their practice. The findings of the research indicate that the plastic surgeons surveyed did perceive a need for business acumen in the practice of medicine. The majority felt they were not prepared adequately to deal with the business side of operating a medical practice and perceived a need for basic knowledge in the area of business. The implications of this research are that medical education has ignored this important aspect of preparing a physician to practise medicine in the present economic environment. Educational materials to structure and systematically disseminate business resource information need to be developed so that this group would be able to deal adequately with business-related problems when faced with them in medical practice. Due to the specialty-specific nature of the business needs, this education should likely occur during residency or fellowship training.
