Hi! I’m Jennifer. After working in the medical field, in many different capacities over the last 15 years, I have learned much about where medical practice owners go wrong in running their businesses. I created this channel to try and assist medical practice owners from making the same mistakes as their colleagues. I want to see the private practice world of medicine grow and thrive. I believe healthcare has become too institutionalized, creating unnecessary obstacles and demands.
