Practice Accelerator

As doctors, we have dedicated our lives to the noble practice of medicine, driven by a deep commitment to our patients and our profession. 

We seek the recognition we deserve for the countless sacrifices and compromises we’ve made. Yet, unless you’ve walked in our shoes, it’s hard to grasp the true weight of these demands. This is why the increasing layers of bureaucracy in medicine are so damaging—they undermine our value, threaten our future, and jeopardize the health of the communities we serve.

In today’s healthcare landscape, we are expected to provide care selflessly, often at the expense of our own well-being and financial security. Society now views healthcare as an entitlement, placing relentless demands on doctors without considering the toll it takes. Meanwhile, academic institutions impose mandates disconnected from the realities of clinical practice. To complicate matters, our own colleagues sometimes criticize those of us who seek innovative paths forward, their resistance rooted in fear of change.

Adding to the challenge, private equity firms and hospitals are rapidly absorbing private practices. This shift relegates us to the role of employees—focused on meeting quotas and metrics rather than serving our patients’ best interests.

The time has come for us to reclaim control over our profession and our future. If we don’t act now, the soul of medicine risks being lost to institutions that prioritize numbers over people, ignoring the human connection that is at the heart of our communities. Let us stand together, take charge of our destiny, and ensure that the practice of medicine remains true to its core values—compassion, dedication, and the unwavering commitment to our patients.
