Resources Pertaining to the Business of Medicine

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

Hello everyone. I am interested in finding out some of the business aspects of the medical field. Does anyone know of some websites or other resources that discuss how hospitals and/or a medical practices are run? Some good cases would be great as well.

The institution where I am getting my MBA is not associated with a medical school and therefore has no focus on healthcare. I would like to supplement the coursework with material that is relevant to my future as a physician.

Thanks a lot!
