Surviving in style in a changing business environment

Article Abstract:

The search for certainty which characterizes physicians by training is ill suited to help them negotiate and adapt to the changing market conditions which are affecting their practice. Often, physician's inability to mediate between two alternatives keeps them from successfully adapting their practices from a market standpoint. In order to better run their practices, physicians need to study certain business areas such as marketing, law and human resources.

What now, coach?

Article Abstract:

Doctors, feeling more stress as the healthcare system changes, are increasingly turning to 'career coaches' for help. According to Center for Professional Well-Being director John-Henry Pfifferling, a career coach is not a therapist but, instead, something between a mentor and a friend. The goal is for the physician and the coach to collaborate, Pfifferling explained, to allow the physician to become a better self-manager.

New tamoxifen challenge: balance hope with caution

Article Abstract:

The ability of tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer will cause women to seek a prescription, but physicians must communicate that the drug can have serious consequences. In a study measuring the effectiveness of tamoxifen, 45% of the women had their breast cancer reduced, but the drug did increase blood clots and endometrial cancer.
