You mastered the medicine. The finance, the contracts, the leadership, the negotiation — the parts that decide how much control you actually have — were left off the syllabus. Doctor Business School teaches them, in plain language, on a physician's schedule.
This was never a personal shortcoming — it's a gap in the training itself.

I'm Andy Smith — MBA, doctorate in health administration, and two decades on the business side of healthcare: the Navy, UnitedHealth Group, Optum. The contracts, the P&Ls, the compensation models physicians sign and inherit — I've spent my career on the other side of that table.
I built Doctor Business School to hand that side over. Not because the gap is your fault — it's a design flaw in the training — but because it's completely learnable, and the physicians who learn it lead.
I signed my first employment contract without understanding half of it. I left money on the table for years.
They made me department chair and handed me a P&L. I had no idea what I was looking at.
I opened my own practice thinking the hard part was behind me. The business side nearly broke me.
