【Survey of 439 Physicians on “Starting a Practice” Conducted】56.2% of Physicians Interested in “Starting a Practice” – PR TIMES

News Highlights

A survey on starting a practice conducted by CentralMedience Inc. among 439 physicians revealed that 56.2% of them expressed interest in starting their own practice. The background to this interest suggests benefits from forming a medical group or corporation, such as securing personnel through shared recruitment networks, improving retention rates by standardizing training systems, and reducing the burden on medical staff by utilizing headquarters functions (labor, accounting, IT, etc.).

Perspective from M&A Medical Editorial Department

The result that over half of physicians are interested in starting a practice indicates not just a rise in the desire for independence, but also the growing understanding among physicians of the advantages of forming a medical group or corporation. Specifically, concrete benefits like shared recruitment networks, standardized training systems, and utilization of headquarters functions suggest the enjoyment of economies of scale and specialization that are difficult to achieve with individual practices. This is likely to lead to increased interest in consolidation of multiple clinics and corporate structuring schemes, such as those supported by M&A Medical (CentralMedience Inc.). What individual physicians associate with the term “starting a practice” may be shifting from the establishment of traditional individual clinics to participation in a more organized medical service system, which is a trend worth noting in the new wave of business succession and M&A.
