Job Description

Opportunity Overview

Many physicians are interested in practice ownership but are unsure where to start. Questions about financing, staffing, reimbursement, technology, operations, and growth can make the process feel overwhelming.

For many physicians, the challenge is not clinical expertise—it is understanding how to build and operate a successful business. This opportunity is designed for physicians who are evaluating practice ownership and want structured support while building a long-term medical practice.

Physicians retain full control of patient care, clinical operations, and medical decision-making. MedCBO provides guidance and support for the business side of the practice.

  • Who Is Typically Successful In This Model?
  • Physicians who thrive in this model often demonstrate the following characteristics:
  • Interest in building and leading a business, not simply practicing medicine
  • Long-term commitment to practice ownership
  • Desire to establish meaningful community and referral relationships
  • Understanding that successful practices require both clinical and business leadership
  • Financial discipline and realistic growth expectations
  • Wants to build a practice that can grow and succeed long-term
  • Realistic financial planning and willingness to invest in long-term practice success
  • This opportunity is best suited for physicians interested in practice ownership, leadership, and long-term practice development.
  • Examples of Physician Goals
  • Physicians commonly explore this model when they wish to:
  • Launch a new independent practice
  • Acquire an existing medical practice
  • Transition from employment to ownership
  • Establish a specialty practice in an underserved market
  • Build a long-term physician-led organization

How MedCBO Helps Physician Founders

  • MedCBO helps physician founders solve many of the business challenges associated with launching and operating a successful medical practice, including:
  • Improving collections and financial performance

  • Understanding practice profitability and growth opportunities
  • Reducing operational and compliance risk
  • Implementing technology and workflow systems
  • Navigating vendor selection and business operations
  • Creating the infrastructure required for long-term success

Physician Responsibilities

Successful physician founders are typically committed to both clinical excellence and practice leadership. They understand that building a successful practice requires participation in business planning, community engagement, referral development, and long-term organizational growth.

  • Provide high-quality patient care within specialty scope
  • Build professional relationships within the local medical community to grow the practice
  • Participate in key business and growth decisions
  • Help shape the long-term vision of the practice
  • Maintain clinical quality and patient experience standards

Requirements

  • MD or DO degree
  • Board Certified or Board Eligible in their respective field of medicine
  • Unrestricted medical license or ability to obtain licensure in intended practice state
  • Eligibility for hospital and/or facility privileges where applicable
  • Ability to obtain professional liability coverage and other required insurance at standard market rates

Location: Multiple U.S. markets available. Market selection is physician-directed and subject to applicable licensure and regulatory requirements.

Important Disclosure

Physicians interested in this opportunity work directly with MedCBO to evaluate market opportunities, financing considerations, operational requirements, and practice readiness before establishing or acquiring a practice. This is not an employed physician position. Physicians establish, acquire, or operate their own medical practice entity. MedCBO provides non-clinical administrative and business support services only.

Practice performance, revenue, and financial outcomes vary based on specialty, market conditions, physician activity, payer mix, and business decisions. MedCBO does not guarantee practice performance, income, financing approval, or business results.

Key Responsibilities

The physician is responsible for providing high-quality clinical care while leading the business operations of their own independent medical practice. They must engage in community building, referral development, and strategic decision-making to ensure long-term practice growth and success.
