THE INITIATIVE: Business Pathways
A key strategic initiative embarked upon by Doctors of BC in 2021, is to provide supports for physicians’ post-pandemic business practice. The Board approved the creation of a new team at Doctors of BC that will develop and deliver a suite of services to support members in adapting their business practices in a post-pandemic environment. This will take place in the form of a physician-specific business pathway for members providing advice and education in areas such as billing, accounting and legal advice on practice management, as well as contract support. The team will develop resources and education opportunities linked to each stage and decision point in a physician’s career, in addition to providing opportunities for peer-to-peer engagement and learning. Actions will include the creation of an infrastructure for regular education webinars for members on key topics linked to information, skills, and resources that members need to support and improve their practice of medicine. This ‘pathway’ will leverage our current service partners and strengthen relationships with new professional advisory services.
