The gap no one talks about

You spent a decade becoming a physician.
Nobody taught you the rest.

I signed my first employment contract without understanding half of it. I left money on the table for years.
— Hospitalist, 4 years post-training
They made me department chair and handed me a P&L. I had no idea what I was looking at.
— Emergency medicine physician, new dept. chair
I opened my own practice thinking the hard part was behind me. The business side nearly broke me.
— Primary care practice owner, 2 years in

About your instructor

Not a physician. But fluent in your world.

I'm an MBA with a doctorate in health administration — which means I've spent my career studying the exact intersection where clinical expertise meets business reality. I'm not a doctor, but I speak the language, understand the pressures, and know where physicians consistently lose ground.


I built Doctor Business School because physicians are among the most educated professionals in the world — and among the least prepared for the financial and business decisions their careers demand. That gap isn't your fault. It's a system design problem. And it's fixable.


My background in health administration means I've worked on the other side of the table — the contracts, the P&Ls, the compensation models. Now I'm putting that knowledge to work for you.
