The Business of Plastic Surgery: Navigating a Successful Career
Edited by Joshua M. Korman and Heather J. Furnas
Plastic surgeons and other specialists finish their training ready to care for patients and save lives, but they are woefully unprepared to negotiate a contract, open a private practice, or build an operating room.
The five sections of the book cover the trajectory of a career, from medical school to retirement. Forty-five authors, including surgeons, lawyers, financial advisers, and M.B.A.s, offer a solid breadth of expertise.
The book is divided into five sections:
Career Directions
Marketing and Monitoring
Internet University
Enhancing Both Practice and Career
Watching Your Back
From starting a practice to transitioning mid-career, bringing an invention to market, improving physician autonomy, and opening a medical spa, the chapters provide a banquet of information.
Our final chapter, The Changing Face of Plastic Surgery, gathers the perspectives of members of underrepresented groups who offer suggestions on how plastic surgery can become more diverse and inclusive.
“They have produced the best book on the business of plastic surgery, and no one else has come close to matching such an accomplishment.”
