Thriving Independently: Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Physician-Led Practices

Maintain Your Clinical Autonomy While Growing Your Practice

As physician burnout rises and satisfaction with employment models decreases, more healthcare providers are exploring the benefits of remaining or becoming independent. Bain & Co. found that health systems see physician satisfaction rates of just 50-75%. At physician-led practices? Satisfaction rates jump to 70-90%.

But how do independent practices navigate financial pressures, regulatory burdens, staffing challenges, and reimbursement complexities—all while preserving clinical autonomy?
