Description
This text is designed to meet the needs of programs that offer a group practice or ambulatory care course as well as those that incorporate physician practice management issues into the regular curriculum.

This book: * Explains how physician practice management differs from management in other settings * Discusses strategic planning, financial management, information systems, and hospital relationships as applied in group practice settings * Provides sufficient background without overwhelming students with detail * Uses a straightforward approach that is appropriate for both graduate and undergraduate courses * Includes a mini case, learning objectives, and discussion questions in each chapter
