Where are the doctors who mean business?

As reported in the New York Times, last month, Emma Tucker, the new editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, gathered the newsroom to share a blunt message: The media industry had morphed “beyond recognition” and The Journal needed to adapt, or be left behind.

Ms. Tucker told the newsroom she wanted The Journal to become “an audience-first publication for people who mean business,” enticing readers to come back more often to its digital products by focusing on exclusive stories, rather than commodity news.

Medical schools, residency training programs, medical societies, and clinicians in all stages of their careers in various practice models should take a page from the WSJ to supplement the New England Journal.

They need to adapt or be left behind.

Here is how to teach the business of medicine.

Here is how to learn the business of medicine.

Here is what you need to know about the business of the business of medicine.

Here is why the business of medicine should be a mandatory part of the medical school curriculum and residency education competencies.

Doctors are not lousy businesspeople. They just believe they are.

Doctors who mean business need to organize to win the revolutions.

If you do not practice the business of medicine, you have no business practicing medicine.
