Have you ever wondered how physicians take an idea and turn it into a product/start-up? What resources do physicians need to be able to take on these ventures and how do they find the time with their clinical duties?

Hosts, Adrian Kuchtaruk and Brandon Loshusan, are medical students at the Schulich School of Medicine in London, Ontario and Co-chairs of the Business in Medicine Club. Similar to the club, the Business in Medicine podcast aims to educate medical students, residents and early practicing physicians on various topics of business that affect the day-to-day lives of healthcare professionals.  Whether we like it or not, business plays a fundamental role in how healthcare services are delivered. Business is integrated into all facets of healthcare including the decision to incorporate or not; health innovation; the allocation of scarce resources; and entrepreneurship. Having an understanding of how these systems work is essential to becoming a well-rounded physician.  In addition to business in healthcare, this podcast will dedicate several episodes to discussing personal finances and building wealth as a future physician. Topics will include paying off student loans, when to hire a financial advisor, investing in real estate, retirement planning, and much more.  Subscribe to the podcast and follow our Facebook page @BusinessinMedicinePodcast to stay up to date on new episodes.
