Program Description
The MMS Committee on the Sustainability of Private Practice is hosting a virtual Q&A panel for all medical students. The program goals are to present medical students to the basic principles of private practice as a form of medical practice, and to help
medical students connect with physicians that have substantial private practice experience. The physician panelists for this event represent a diverse variety of backgrounds, subspecialties, and practice types.
This program is open to everyone interested in learning about private practice and tailored specifically for medical students. A separate Q/A panel is currently being planned for residents, with more details for that program to come.
Date and Time:
Friday, March 12, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
