Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, jumps on the widely-requested topic of Medical Directors. Do you need a Medical Director? How do you find a Medical Director? How much should you pay a Medical Director? Tune into this episode as Jason dives deep into each of these questions.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
- A Medical Director's role would include overviewing everything clinical-related in your practice such as protocols, forms, standing orders, etc.
- If you don't have a healthcare license, you need a Medical Director to oversee your practice.
- In some states, a physician is required to be the Medical Director, and sometimes, even own the medical practice.
- A workaround would be to run a Management Services Organization.
- As a provider (e.g., physician or nurse practitioner), you may or may not need a Medical Director. Review your state's Nurse Practice Act to see if you can practice independently.
- To find a Medical Director, start by scouring your network. The best case scenario would be to partner with someone you know, like, and trust.
- Another method would be to post on job sites with a thoroughly detailed job description. Look for state regulations regarding Medical Director's roles and responsibilities, put a salary, and hire them part-time at first.
