What Deans are Measured On

We understand the success metrics that matter to medical schools and delivers targeted training to help you meet them—without disrupting your clinical curriculum.

  • COMLEX pass rates and board certification success

  • Residency match rates in the specialties your students want

  • Graduate preparedness for modern healthcare practice

  • Curriculum innovation aligned with COCA standards

  • Institutional commitments to DEI and student wellness

The Obstacles Deans Face

We know Deans face increasing demands but have limited time and resources. Common challenges include:

  • Faculty overload with too little time to teach comprehensive non-clinical competencies

  • Gaps in business, finance, legal, leadership, and wellness training

  • Limited clinical rotation availability and growing residency competition

  • Rising expectations for accreditation and innovation

  • Burnout concerns among students who are emotionally and administratively unprepared

The #1 Issue Facing Medical Schools Today

Today’s Students Need More Than Medical Knowledge.

Modern medical graduates must be prepared not only as skilled clinicians but also as leaders and professionals who can thrive in the business of medicine. They need to:

  • Lead interdisciplinary teams and contribute to community health
  • Navigate billing systems, contracts, and credentialing processes
  • Communicate effectively and manage conflicts under pressure
  • Sustain their own well-being and avoid burnout

Yet, most medical school curricula leave significant gaps in these critical non-clinical areas. Many students graduate without formal training in:

  • Job offer evaluation and contract negotiation
  • Malpractice insurance, scope of practice, and credentialing
  • Practice management and team leadership
  • Financial literacy, burnout prevention, and life balance

  • Aligns with medical school curriculum standards and philosophies
  • Fits seamlessly within clinical rotations and residency preparation periods
  • Prepares students for board exams, interviews, and achieving a balanced, sustainable career

Student Comments

This Should be Mandatory

Fourth-Year Medical Student

"This course feels like it should be mandatory teaching in medical school. Not once in my time during medical school has anyone talked about the business aspect of things in great detail. Usually, you have to continually ask someone and then their answers are vague or insufficient. This course provides a good starting point for understanding how we need to practice medicine both from our hearts but also as a business operation."

Excellent!

Practicing Physician

"Excellent overview! These are terms and concepts that are totally foreign to a vast majority of medical students. Super important to know when looking for residency and employment."

See Healthcare in a Different Way

Fourth-Year Medical Student

"The Rx for The Business of Medicine helped me see healthcare in a different way. I am more aware of all the other things that go into our profession besides learning medicine. I plan on being proactive with the business side of practicing medicine and educating myself on how to provide the best care safely, effectively and successfully. Being more educated on things other than medicine will help alleviate some stress associated with the profession. I know for myself, I need to become more familiar with the finance side especially with loan payment and investments, Medicare and Medicaid policies, and accounting."

Preventing Physician Burnout

Fourth-Year Medical Student

"I think the focus on preventing physician burnout and the strategies implemented to prevent this have been the biggest takeaways for me. Burned-out doctors are more likely to leave practice, which reduces patients’ access to and continuity of care. Burnout can also threaten patient safety and care quality when depersonalization leads to poor interactions with patients and when burned-out physicians suffer from impaired attention, memory, and executive function."

The WHY

Fourth-Year Medical Student

"Rx for The Business of Medicine takes something like medical billing and coding and doesn’t teach you the specific codes, but rather the WHY of medical billing and coding. It may seem uninteresting and one of the least desirable facts to know about medicine, but Dr. Anderson shows WHY you need to do it, how to do it, and keep yourself away from unbearable quarrels with insurance companies. Dr. Anderson will change your perspective so you can tackle these parts of medicine with gratitude rather than resentment."

I Am Grateful

Fourth-Year Medical Student

"I just wanted to say how grateful I am that you created this course. The content contained is invaluable to my future in medicine. I have spoken to some of my friends at other medical schools who have been pulled off rotations as well, and they were thoroughly impressed with this course as I describe it to them. I continue to reference the article links. Thanks again!"
